A Parent's Bedtime Prayer

Divine intervention may be your only hope

Dear child
who art in your bed,
cursed's been your name.

You've had your stories.
You've been to the potty
and we've filled your freaking water glass.

Give us this night a sliver of respite,
and forgive us for yelling,
as we forgive you for yelling in the first place.

And lead us not back to your room;
we're trying to catch up on the PVR.

Amen.
