You ever wonder if Adam and Eve were just the puppies God dumped because they wouldn't house-train?

A baby is such a blank slate, like training the understudy for a role you're planning to leave. You truly hope your replacement will do the play justice, but in secret you want future critics to say you played the character better.

Just for the record, how I feel right now is very terrific.
