The Man In the Backyard

Reagan and Rylan were playing in the backyard while I made lunch. When it was ready I called them in to eat. Reagan offered the blessing on the food. He said, "and pweese(please) bwess(bless) the man in the backyard."

I admit that I opened my eyes. I looked outside. I was nervous. When he said amen I asked him, "Reagan! What man in the backyard!?"

He said, "The man that was here yesterday and put those dirts all over the yard." (we had our yard arriated the day before.)

Aubryn said, "What was his name?" This way, when she prays for him, she can just say his name. I didn't know his name! Whoever he was, he was blessed by a kid who is very generous with his blessings.
