Life is mysterious, fascinating, intriguing. Here my words nibble around the edges of it as the mood takes me.

Monday Giggles
After creating heaven and earth, God created Adam and Eve.
And the first thing God said was:
"Don't . . ."
"Don 't what?" Adam asked.
"Don't eat the forbidden fruit," God replied.
"Forbidden fruit . . ?"
"We have forbidden fruit . . . ? "
"Hey Eve. . . we have forbidden fruit ! "
"No Way !"
"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.
"Didn't I tell you not to eat the fruit? " God asked.
"Uh huh,"Adam replied.
"Then why did you?" asked the Father.
"I don't know," said Adam.
"She started it."
"I did not !"
"You did!"
"I 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.
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.
Gotta love 'em though!
