WHY GOD CREATED CHILDREN (AND IN THE PROCESS GRANDCHILDREN) 
>> 
>> 
>>               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"!!!!!
