Most people don't know that back in 1912, Hellman's Mayonnaise was
manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the
condiment scheduled for delivery In Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next
port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York. This would have
been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise ever delivered to Mexico.
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.
2. Then you spend the next sixteen telling them to sit
down and shut up.
3. Grandchildren are God's reward for not killing your
own children.
4. Mothers of teens now know why some animals eat their
young.
5. Children seldom misquote you. In fact, they usually
repeat word for word what you shouldn't have said.
6. The main purpose of holding children's parties is to
remind yourself that there are children more awful than your own.
7. 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"
WHAT??? You expected something educational from me?
You need a shot of Tequila
