A conversation between God and Eve

GodandeveLord, I have a problem."

"What's the problem, Eve?"

"I know that you created me & provided this beautiful garden & all of these wonderful animals, as well as that hilarious comedic snake, but I'm just not happy."

"And why is that Eve?"

"Lord, I am lonely, and I'm sick to death of apples."

"Well, Eve, in that case, I have a solution. I shall create a man for you."

"Man? What is that, Lord?"

"A flawed creature, with many bad traits. He'll lie, cheat & be vain; all in all, he'll give you a hard time. But he'll be bigger, faster & will like to hunt & kill things. I'll create him in such a way that he will
satisfy your physical needs. He will be witless & will revel in childish things like fighting & kicking a ball about. He won't be as smart as you, so he will also need your advice to think properly."

"Sounds great," says Eve, with ironically raised eyebrows, "but what's  the catch, Lord?"

"Well ...you can have him on one condition."

"And what's that, Lord?"

"As I said, he'll be proud, arrogant, & self admiring..... So you'll have to let him believe that I made him first. And it will have to be our little secret........You know, woman to woman."

Thanks Phyllis
