a place to put random discourses on life
Parenting put in perspective...
Published on February 8, 2005 By lifehappens In Humor
Whenever your kids are out of control, you can take comfort from the thought that even God's omnipotence did not extend to God's kids. After creating heaven and earth, God created Adam and Eve. The first thing he said was: "Don't".
"Don't what?" Adam replied.
"Don't eat the forbidden fruit." God said.
"Forbidden fruit? We got forbidden fruit? Hey, Eve....we got forbidden fruit!"
"No way!"
"Yes way!"
"Don't eat that fruit!" said God.
"Why?"
"Because I am your Father and I said so!" said God, wondering why he hadn't stopped after making the elephants.

A few minutes later God saw his kids having an apple break and was very angry.
"Didn't I tell you not to eat the fruit?" The first Parent asked.
"Uh huh," Adam replied.
"Then why did you?"
"I dunno" Eve answered.
"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 this story. If you have persistently and loving ly tried to give them wisdom and they haven't taken it, don't be hard on yourself. If God had trouble handling children, what makes you think it would be a piece of cake for you?


If you have a lot of tension and you get a headache, do what it says on the aspirin bottle: Take two and keep away from children.....

Life,

Good one!

My parenting philosophy has always revolved around "spend ten times as much time telling your kids what TO do than what NOT to do. They'll find out what NOT to do quick enough on their own".

Ha! Ha! I like your twist on the Adam and Eve story. I think aspirin bottles are made to keep old people like me out. My son always had to open them for me.
