Being out numbered three to one by males in my house I am quite sensitive to gender issues. This is a nice way of saying that I am situationally bombarded with farts (which I mind), football (which I don't mind), and I find myself swearing at the Mars/Venus author a lot. So when on Wednesday night Thing 1 said that his throat was bugging him a bit and his head was hurting I began bracing for the worst. Sigh, the Man Cold was about to invade.
While the invasion is in full swing, however, it has led to a religious epiphany on my part. Whilst reciting my version of the Serenity Prayer, I realized the Almighty's motivation in something. I, of course, felt very blessed to have been gifted such an amazing bit of holy insight and had to share it here, with you.
Despite popular and biblical belief, God did not create Eve from Adam's rib following the realization that the poor guy was one lonely dude. Rather, God looked down from heaven and saw that Adam was slowly starving to death and completely unaware of what the eff to do without someone there to hold his silly little male hand. And it was then God realized once that poor fool got sick he'd just whither away and die. Realizing that He could not allow his most prized creation to just die due to his overwhelming sense of self pity, God created Eve.
Then Eve went and served up some forbidden apples and they were cast out of Paradise ... and God, then and only then, created the Man Cold so as to punish woman kind for Eve's mistake.
Gee, thanks.
