Fatherhood


When I downloaded this picture a few months ago, I thought it was funny, but now? With people dying from Swine Flu it has lost its humor! Now I look at this picture and notice something I didn't see before; the adult foot in the sandal at the right in the picture. Notice I didn't say "parent" because this person really wouldn't qualify in my book. I would really be upset if this were my grandchild. Proverbs puts it this way.

Pro 17:21 He who becomes the father of a fool grieves. The father of a fool has no joy.
One thing is very sure; on this "parents' " next birthday I would give them a card with a pig on it and the name of my local doctor; they probably will need both, one for a lesson in parenting and the other to get some medical help. Some people are just slow learners.
