Praying for "Joe?"

In the middle of dinner tonight, Keido looked at me and folded his arms as if he wanted to say another prayer.  Of course I said, "Okay," and began to pray.  I thanked Heavenly Father for our broccoli, strawberries, Grandma, Grandpa, Daddy, and Mommy, and then I concluded.  He looked at me annoyed and folded his arms again.  I asked him if I had forgotten anyone.  He said, "Joe."  I thought that he might have meant Jeana, so I prayed again and thanked Heavenly Father for Jeana, Trevor, Natalie, and Wyatt, (the names he knows) just to cover my bases.  When I finished, he still seemed a little annoyed, but didn't say anything and gave up on it.

This evening when we were saying our prayers before bed, I made a point to thank Heavenly Father for everyone I could think of.  When I finished, Keido looked at me again and said, "Joe."  So, I started a new prayer, thanked Heavenly Father for "Joe" and concluded.  Keido looked at me with a big grin on his face and said enthusiastically, "AMEN."

I have no idea who Keido could be referring to, but for all you Joes out there, just know that there is a little boy who is very grateful for you.
