Design Flaw: A Memo to God

God:

I believe I have found a serious design flaw in Your plans for the human race. You have allowed their physical development to far outstrip their mental and emotional capabilities. Whether it's a two-year-old climbing a bookcase or a teenager involved in an unsafe relationship, You have allowed their bodies to grow and change at a much faster rate than they (or their parents) are prepared to handle.

Please respond A.S.A.P. with an updated plan.

Barring that, can You at least tell me how to keep my daughter from getting into the spice cupboard and dumping my spices onto the counter for a third time? I really can't afford to replace them all again.

Thank You.

Yours,

Amy

  1. This is so funny! I just read a book that explains that during the teen years, the pre-frontal cortex of the teen brain is "off-line." --What, God? Just when You're flooding their bodies with seriously powerful hormones they've never experienced before, you're taking a really important part of their brain down for YEARS??
