Silly Sunday is the place to come for weekly laughs. The rules are simple, just have fun.
This is a great opportunity to get to know other bloggers and have a laugh or two in the process. Here is how it works: Laugh and Link Up!
Don’t:
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 to them 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’m your Father and I said so!” said God, wondering why he hadn’t stopped after making the elephants. A few minutes later God saw the kids having an apple break and was angry.
“Didn’t I tell you not to eat that 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 so!”
“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 a 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?

Thank you, Sandee for this post. It is so comforting to me because I felt like I should have done more to be a better mom to my kids. God gives us free will….Have a blessed Sunday!
Kids are kids and have been since the beginning. 🙂
We had 4 little ones running around here yesterday and I heard the word don't quite a lot. Funny thing is I don't think any of the kids heard it. 🙂
They hear the word I think, they just don't heed that word. 🙂
That 'don't' word does get ignored, no doubt about it. Sandee, you and Zane have fantastic day.
Ignored is exactly what that work gets. 🙂
Yep, the word "don't" goes in one ear and out the other. Have a blessed and beautiful Sunday!
Yes, I agree. Kids have been ignoring that word for eons. 🙂
Great post! Thank you for sharing.

Have a dontastatic SSS :p
Yes it does doesn't it. 🙂
Haha and I bet he is still shaking his head at our antics today 🙂
Probably so Jen, probably so. 🙂
That is a good one 🙂
So Sunday too. 🙂
What you sow you reap. Everyone of us had been a kid sometime, troubling our parents and the saga continues…children always keep the parents guessing.
Have a great day!
Children are children. They have always been so. 🙂
Too True. The question is: Who is God. Ancient Alien?
Perhaps Tim. I'm not sure, but I loved your alien post today. 🙂
Happy Sunday!!
Happy Sunday to you too Michelle. 🙂
So true! Perfect silly Sunday post.
Big hugs, honey…
Thanks honey. Have fun in Wyoming. 🙂
Pets are much better.
I cannot argue with you about this. 🙂
You're right, we can't do a better job than God at parenting.
I've always known this Jan. 🙂
Great post! Sweet greetings!:))

Thank you for visiting Comedy Plus. 🙂
Funny how a few short lines can send such a message. I've always thought that some to try and complicate what is most obvious!
Yes, and this is so very simple isn't it. 🙂
🙂 Happy SUNDAY! Woofs and SMILES from SUGAR
Happy Sunday to you too Sugar. 🙂
If you say 'don't' it is almost an invitation for 'please do!' LOL! 🙂
It sure is Linda, it sure is. 🙂
lol and Amen! 🙂
Amen is right. Okay the lol is a must too. 🙂
Laughing…this is hilarious, and this is my favorite part, "wondering why he hadn't stopped after making the elephants."
As always, thanks for the endorphin's. :))
Have a great week, Sandee.
"Big hugs" to you my dear friend. Happy Silly Sunday!
I'm glad you joined in this week Annie. I'm always so happy when you do. 🙂
That's a pretty good way to look at it!
Yep, all these years and things are the same 🙂
so, that's where it all started lol!!
Yes, this is where it all started. 🙂
Interesting analogy. And so spot on. "I dunno" drives me mad some days.
Drives us all mad sometimes. I so remember. 🙂
My niece stays with us on weekend so even if I don't have kids I know how hard it is to raise kids 🙂
Sorry for not visiting for a while. Hope all is well with you!
I've missed you too, but I know how busy you are. Yes, kids need lots of attention. 🙂
Adam & Eve have a lot to answer for. This was really funny Sandee
And having God as their parent didn't help one bit did it. I thought it was funny too Tony. 🙂
