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.
"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 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.
And finally:
if you have a lot of tension and you get
a headache, do what it
says on the aspirin bottle:
"take two aspirin" and "keep away from
children"!!!!!

Lol that was cute! Damn I hope my little
girl isnt a brat like some of these kids I
see running around at my work sometimes!
I think some parents just dont spend
enough time with their children, or they
dont disipline when its neccesary. I
will fear the day I have to watch my child
turn into a teenager but for now that is a
long ways off! Haha dustin said he will
get a shot gun for when she wants to start
dating and when the boys come over to meet
us he'll have it sitting beside him while
he asks all the questions! I thought
that was funny!
