After he made the Garden of Eden, god took off to develop another galaxy. He came back in one god second and the place was a mess. Keep in mind that god time and human time are quite different. One god second is a pretty long time for humans. I’m not sure how long but for the sake of this little story, let’s say it was a year. Well now, god was standing on his favorite rock, Mount Everest when he looked the Garden and saw the mess Adam had made. So he thought, man what a mess. I better put this guy to work.

God said, "Adam, name the animals"

Adam hadn’t seen god in a while and when he heard his voice he was surprised.

"Who me?"

"Yes you"

A few minutes later.

"Eve honey, will you name the animals for me?"

Eve said, "Ok."

Then god said, "Adam till the soil."

"Me?"

"Yes you, you don’t expect me to do it, do you?"

"Yes sir, no, no sir, I’ll do it."

Ten minutes later

"Oh Eve, will you till the soil please; I’m really busy"

"Busy, doing what!"

"I am making a new club to play whack a mole Eve."

"Adam I getting tired of doing everything around here, this isn’t fair. I have to till the soil, name the animals, fetch water from the river, cook the food, and even clean the cave and you’re just sitting on your fat ass all day playing whack a mole. Leave those damn moles alone already. I don’t think they like playing with you anyway."

"But Eve…?"

"Adam quit behaving like a child and grow up."

"Eve, what’s a child?"

It’s going to be a long time before you find out.

Eve’s angry and says aloud, “He’s not getting it, anytime soon.”

"Screw this, Adam! I’m going to the snakes den.”

"Ok, honey"
