I was sent this & thought it was cute & worth passing on. ...Karen :)

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 God said to them was:
  "Don't."

  "Don't what?" Adam asked.  "Don't eat the forbidden
  fruit," said God.

  "Forbidden fruit?  Really?  Where is it?" Adam and
  Eve asked, jumping up and down excitedly.

  "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 very angry.

  "Didn't I tell you not to eat the fruit?" the First
  Parent asked.

  "Uh huh," Adam replied.  "Then why did you do it?"
  God asked exasperated.

  "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 a reassurance in this story.

  If you have persistently and lovingly tried to give
  your children wisdom and they haven't taken it,
  don't be so hard on yourself.  If God had trouble
  handling His children, what makes you think it
  should be a piece of cake for you?
