This one sounded funny and with two of my own ....  Hope you find it funny
as well.

Ya Soffie

Whenever your kids are out of control, you can take comfort from the thought
that even God's omnipotence did not extend to God's kids.  After creating
heaven and earth, God created Adam and Eve.  The first thing He said was:
"Don't."
"Don't what?" Adam asked.
"Don't eat the forbidden fruit," God said.
"Forbidden fruit? We got forbidden fruit? Hey Eve ... we got forbidden
fruit."
"No way!"
"Yes way!"
"Don't eat that fruit!" said God.
"Why?"
"Because I am your Father and I said so!" said God, wondering why he hadn't
stopped after making the elephants.  A few minutes later, God saw his kids
having an apple break and He was angry.
"Didn't I tell you not to eat the fruit?" the First Parent ask.
"Uh huh," Adam replied
"Then why did you?"
"I dunno," Eve answered
"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 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?
Advice for the day:  If you have a lot of tension and you get a headache, do
what it says on the aspirin bottle:
        Take two and keep away from children
