Ryan was on only child who really wanted a brother to play with. Each evening, when his mother and father kneeled beside him, Ryan would pray for a little brother.
After many months of asking and nothing happening, Ryan finally stopped praying for a brother. During this time, Sister Pitcher was expecting a child, and she eventually delivered twin boys.
"Wow!" Ryan exclaimed when he heard the news. "It's a good thing I stopped praying when I did" (Stories and Jokes of Mormon Folks, p. 67).
