>>  To those of us who have children in our lives, whether they are
>> our own, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, or students...here is
>> something to make you chuckle.  Whenever your children are out of
>> control, you can take comfort from the thought that even God's
>> omnipotence did not extend to His own children After creating
>> heaven and earth, God created Adam and Eve. And the first thing he
>> said was "DON'T!"

>>
>>
>>
>> "Don't what?" Adam replied.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> "Don't eat the forbidden fruit." God said.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> Keep Scrolling
>>
>>
>>
>> "Forbidden fruit? We have forbidden fruit? Hey Eve..we have
>> forbidden fruit!!!!!"
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> "No Way!"
>>
>>
>>
>> Keep scrolling
>>
>>
>>
>> "Yes way!"
>>
>>
>>
>> "Do NOT eat the fruit!" said God.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> "Why"
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> "Because I am your Father and I said so!" God replied, wondering
>> why He hadn't stopped creation after making the elephants. A few
>> minutes later, God saw His children having an apple break and He
>> was ticked! "Didn't I tell you not to eat the fruit?" God asked.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> "Uh huh," Adam replied.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> "Then why did you?" said the Father.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> "I don't know," said Eve.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> "She started it!" Adam said
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> "Did not!"
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> "Did too!"
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> "DID NOT!"
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> Having had it with the two of them, God's punishment was that Adam
>> and Eve should have children of their own. Thus the pattern was
>> set and it has never changed.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> BUT THERE IS REASSURANCE IN THE STORY!  If you have persistently
>> and lovingly tried to give children wisdom and they haven't taken
>> it, don't be hard on yourself. If God had trouble raising
>> children, what makes you think it would be a piece of cake for you?
>>
>>
>>
>> THINGS TO THINK ABOUT!
>> 1. You spend the first two years of their life teaching them to
>> walk and talk. Then you spend the next sixteen telling them to sit
>> down and shut up.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> 2. Grandchildren are God's reward for not killing your own children.
>>
>>
>>
>> 3. Mothers of teens now know why some animals eat their young.
>>
>>
>>
>>  4. Children seldom misquote you. In fact, they usually repeat
>> word for word what you shouldn't have said.
>>
>>
>>
>> 5. The main purpose of holding children's parties is to remind
>> yourself that there are children more awful than your own.
>>
>>
>>
>> 6. We childproofed our homes, but they are still getting in.
>>

>>
>>  ADVICE FOR THE DAY: Be nice to your kids. They will choose your
>> nursing home one day.
