You've reminded me of another "acquaintance" story, though I did "ear witness" this one myself.
A friend of mine has a daughter who at the time was about 18 months old, just starting to talk, not even complete sentences yet. We'd both been part of a theatrical performance that included Handel's "Hallelujah Chorus" for several months. Anyway, we were walking through the mall, pushing the child along in the stroller, and she was babbling to herself, as 18 month olds are wont to do. When suddenly she came out with it, clear and loud enough for us to hear her in the noisy mall.
I snapped my head around to look at him just as he snapped his head to look at me, and I demanded in an incredulous voice, "Did she just say: 'For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth?'!"
He replied, just a bit shocked, "Yes. Yes, she did just say: 'For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth'!"
She was mostly on key, too. Okay, so she slurred "omnipotent" a little, but still!
