The 11th Commandment

For the past few weeks, Josh and Debbie have been memorizing the 10 commandments.
It has been going really well; we just got a little tripped up on this week's commandment. It was Debbie's turn, and she went down the line, reciting the commandments:
1) have no other gods before me
2) don't make for yourself any idol
3) do not take the name of the Lord in vain
4) Honor the Sabbath to keep it Holy
5) Honor your parents
6) Do not murder

When we got to number 7, Debbie paused, looked at me, and said, "Do not commit adoption."

I looked at her, looked at Josh, and he agreed solemnly, and said, "that's right, do not commit adoption." !

By the way how does one explain "adultery" to a five year old child ?????

Until next time, Lisa
