Adam And Eve Poem by Dee Daffodil

Adam And Eve

Rating: 4.8


My daughter...is a thinking child
I say that, not just as a proud Mom
But as someone
With great admiration and respect for her

Today, after a conversation about gifted people
She came to me and said...
'Mom...who were the first two people on earth? '
I replied 'Adam and Eve'
Then I qualified that with...
'..or so the story goes...'

So then she said to me
(I knew she was setting me up!)
'If they were the first two people on earth
How do we know their names? '
She explained her point of view
Quite nicely I thought...
As only she can do...by hamming it up!
'So...they were in the cave right?
Then Adam says...Eve.....Ugg...cave mess...
Clean it up! !
How did anyone know what their names really were? '

Good point!

I thought to myself...
Ok...so there's gifted....
And then there's gifted! !

Dee, Are you asking me to believe, that the ' All Knowing Mom ' , actually let that conversation dropp right there? ... OR that that brilliant child did? What happened to the rest of this? B.V.A.

And will the last person to leave remember to turn out the lights?

Hi So often, the simplicity of truth comes from the mouth of a child. Their real names where Albert and Cynthia, but it didn't have the same ring to it Well Enjoyed Steve
