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 He said to them was "Don’t"

"Don’t what?" asked Adam.

"Don’t eat the forbidden fruit," God said.

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

"It’s over there," God said 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 that fruit?" the first Parent asked.

"Uh huh," answered Adam

"Then why did you do it?"

"I dunno, "was the reply.

God’s punishment was that Adam and Eve should have children of their own.
