"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 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, as our first parent, 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 isreassurance in this 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 made you think
it would be a piece of cake for you?
