Perhaps a Stretch

In the Book of Genesis Chapter 5, one reads about 'begetting' or generating off springs. Adam begot Seth, Seth begot Enos, Enos begot Cainan, Cainan begot Mahalaleel, Mahalaleel begot Jarod, Jarod begot Enoch and on and on...

When reading Genesis Chapter 5 regarding all that begetting, I realized that our own children have done their fair share of begetting. Our son, Steve begot six times, daughter Dawn begot seven times and Pamela begot twice. That's a grand begotten total of fifteen. It should be noted that Steve and wife Kathy begot a litter of three (triplets) in one 'begetting session.' I have a suspicion that there was an 'X' factor in the begetting of Steve's six off springs and Dawn's seven kiddos. Consider, all three of our children are graduates of Jacksonville high school. Jacksonville high school had three health-teachers two of which were Protestant and one health instructor who was Catholic. I'm guessing Steve and Dawn had the Roman Catholic health-teacher and he skipped the Chapter on contraceptives and birth control. It's all good however...Great Blessings! But..........................

There is however one ongoing financial stress factor for grandparenuts. With the first couple of grandkids Nana and Boompa set a precedents writing checks with established amounts for birthdays, graduations and various other celebratory events and holidays. Sure, you're seeing where I'm  going with this. This spring the old folks will observe three grandchildren graduating from college and three graduating from high school.

Considering America's twenty-first century tendency to bring lawsuits against anybody for anything, I'm just wondering if I Might have a case against the Catholic health teacher. I sure could use some financial contributions towards all these graduates.

These money demands and the pleas from every charitable organization calling the house or sending mailings; why, I'll run out of money long before I run out of good causes.
