Hi, Jesus! It's Ella!

Just had to share this little story told by a friend of mine. She was down South for Thanksgiving dinner with her mother and father (he a pastor, they all live overseas as missionaries when my friend was growing up), her brother and sister-in-law, and their children - Ella and Lucy (brand new baby girl). I think Ella is two.
So, my friend's brother asked Ella if she would like to say the blessing, to which she promptly responded "No." Her reason? "Because Im not friends with Jesus any more."
Okay.
My friend's father is stifling his amusement, while Ella's dad proceeds to begin the blessing. After getting out two words, he is interrupted by a little voice piping up:

"Hi Jesus! It's Ella.
Thank you for Baba and Maple Syrup.
Amen."
