Brenda Lovelace – Adrian, Missouri


I was working with a kindergarten student with a severe language delay. Although his vocabulary skills were weak, he did use the phrase “Oh my God” quite often. One day, I explained to him that every time he said God’s name, God would look down and say “What do you want?” so he should really say God’s name only when he had something to tell Him. Later in the session, we went on a tour of the school naming the various rooms and things we saw along the way. He ran ahead of me into the athlete’s weight room and was apparently amazed since I heard as I rounded the corner “Oh my God!” quickly followed by “I love you!”
