The long-time behavior of velocity-magnetic field alignment is numerically investigated in the framework of MHD shell model. In the stationary forced case, the correlation parameter C displays a nontrivial behavior with long periods of high variability which alternate with periods of almost constant C. The temporal statistics of correlation is shown to be non-Poissonian, and the pdf of constant sign periods displays clear power law tails. The possible relevance of the model for the geomagnetic dynamo problem is discussed.
