heh I liked this one - because all good humor has some truth in it!

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