"In Eden"

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 G~d's omnipotence
did not extend to His own children...

After creating heaven and earth, G~d created Adam and
Eve. And the first thing he said was . . . "Don't!"

"Don't what?" Adam replied.

"Don't eat the forbidden fruit." G~d said.

"Forbidden fruit? We have forbidden fruit? Hey Eve..we
have forbidden fruit!!!!!"

"No Way!"

"Yes, way!"

"Do Not eat the fruit!" said G~d.

"Why?"

"Because I am your Father and I said so!" G~d replied,
wondering why He hadn't stopped creation after making
the elephants. A few minutes later, G~d saw His children
having an apple break and He was ticked!

"Didn't I tell you not to eat the fruit?" G~d 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, G~d's punishment
was that Adam and Eve should have children of their
own. Thus the pattern was set and it has never changed.
