  • Dialog in the Garden of Eden

    Eve: I’m bored.
    Adam: Let’s do something.
    Eve: There’s nothing to do.
    Adam: We could name some more animals.
    Eve: Oh, please.
    Adam: We could ask God what to do.
    Eve: I don’t think he likes me.
    Adam: You don’t know that.
    Eve: Do you want to go shopping?
    Adam: For what? We already have everything we need.
    Eve: Let’s go play with the animals.
    Adam: They make poor partners.
    Eve: Did you clean the kitty litter box this morning?
    Adam: Yes, and I have tilled the garden.
    Eve: Have you thought of a good name for me yet?
    Adam: We are innocent.
    Eve: How boring is that.
    Adam: We could pretend.
    Eve: Pretend what?
    Adam: Pretend that we are not innocent.
    Eve: Has God not forbidden pretension?
    Adam: God is full of flatulence.
    Eve: That big bang was sure something.
    Adam: We could dress up and go out.
    Eve: La-de-da.
