"The First Parent"
> -by Bill Cosby
>
> Whenever your kids are out of control, you can take
> comfort from the thought that even God's omnipotence
> did not extend to his kids. After creating Heaven and
> Earth, God created Adam and Eve. And the first thing
> he said to them was: "Don't."
>
> "Don't what?", Adam replied.
>
> "Don't eat the forbidden fruit."
>
> "Forbidden fruit? Really? Where is it?"
>
> "It's over there," said God, wondering why he hadn't
> stopped after making the elephants.
>
> A few minutes later God saw the kids having an apple
> break and He was angry. "Didn't I tell you not to eat
> that fruit?" the First Parent asked.
>
> "Uh huh," Adam replied.
>
> "Then why did you?"
>
> "I dunno," Adam answered.
>
> 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 assurance in
> this story.
>
> If you have persistently and lovingly 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?
