Genesis According To Kidster

The Garden of Eden was truly a paradise,
but the population of people living there weren't very wise.
Adam and Eve were living in a state of complete ignorant bliss.
They didn't know hate, love, misery or what true happiness is.
They were very much akin 
to being just as infant children.
in that constant alpha mind state
before they learn to love and / or hate.
Damn that Tree of Knowledge that bore the fruit of good and evil,
and I have one question for God too that will most likely cause some upheaval.
"God, why did you allow that to happen to them?
You are their Father, they Your children.
Had I been their Dad my eyes would have never been off of them.
They did after all possess that ignorantly blissful state of mind of infants.
My children are always under my supervision and constant protection.
So, again I ask You God, How could You allow this to happen to them?
Holy Crap! Just now in my head I heard a voice.
"Hello Kidster. This is God and I wanted my children to have a choice"
"But God," I then asked, "Wouldn't You say that Infants aren't ready to experience such 
choice?"
"That's two questions, " God replied, "You said you only had one. Sorry,"
...and that was the last time that I heard His voice
