That reminds me of a story about my friend's 4-year-old nephew years ago.
They (being Catholic) were sitting in Mass, in the middle of a fairly
lengthy sermon, followed by a long period of silent prayer.  My friend's
nephew piped up at a particularly quiet moment (at the top of his voice),
"God, this is boring!"  Apparently most of the congregation had a very hard
time keeping a straight face for the rest of the formalities, and my
friend's brother and sister-in-law were rather embarassed!
