Miss Lloyd (2) loves to say the Lord's Prayer.
But that's not as easy as it sounds.
The good old C of E has 2 authorised forms of the Lord's Prayer: traditional and more contemporary (leaving aside for a moment the 2 different versions in the Bible and Prayer Book).
So that the kids might better understand it, and in accordance with the practice of the church we belonged to at the time, we have learnt the modern version.
But our new churches and the kids' C of E primary school use the traditional version.
Confusion reigns.
In any case, Daddy is inclined to muddle up the versions!

The version used at our church school seems designed to give you a sense of familiarity when you come across either of the main versions, as well as tripping you up. It goes as follows:
Our Father in Heaven,
Hallowed be your name.
Your Kingdom come,
Your will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive our sins
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil,
For yours is the Kingdom
and the power and the glory
For ever and ever. Amen.
You know presumably that there is also an authorised "time of trial" version in Common Worship.
Thank you. No I don't know that?!

It's amazing what they don't teach you at theological college
