Little Miss Fix-It

While we were recovering from ensuring our family wouldn't grow, the girls spent Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday with Grana and Poppy. Grana had just had some dental work done and was having some trouble with one of her teeth. Maddie tried to make her feel better by rubbing her face and asking how she was Wednesday evening. Thursday morning, Maddie couldn't stand it any longer, so she asked Grana if she could see the tooth that was bothering her. After a quick peek, Maddie stated that she could fix it, no problem. Grana asked how and Maddie responded, "Well, my Mama has a bunch of toothpicks and we can just put a whole bunch of them in there!" Though tempted, Grana decided that the toothpicks would likely exacerbate the problem rather than relieving it. That evening, as they lay in bed, Grana in the middle, Maddie asked her if her tooth was feeling better. Grana replied that it wasn't, but she thought it might if Maddie prayed for it to. Grana says Maddie sat right up, clapped her hands together, closed her eyes, and said, "Dear God Jesus, please make my Grana's mouth feel better where that tooth was that she didn't need anymore." The next morning, would you believe it actually felt better?
