Parenting Quandary

I just received an EXTREMELY graphic text book about crime scene investigation. I'm tempted to warn my children never to touch the book. On the other hand, they have never shown an interest in my text books before (after all, they're text books), so I'm afraid that if I draw attention to it, they may not be able to resist sneaking a peek to see what all the fuss is about. Thoughts?

Leave it on the kitchen table, and never mention it.

Don't mention it and then put it up on a high shelf or on top of the fridge when you're not using it.

Ya know... If God hadn't told Adam & Eve not to eat or even touch the Tree of Knowledge then they'd probably still be wandering around in the Garden of Eden. lol!

Good suggestion. That's what my sister's co-workers came up with as well. They told me to put it up with my cookbooks when I'm not using it.

Timpani had a good suggestion too, but there was something going on with blogspot last week, and some comments got trashed without my permission. I couldn't blog for several days, either. I need to make good on my promise though and get the other posts done.

I'll bet Adam and Eve wouldn't be bored yet, either. Course, we'd ALL be in the garden together, with nobody having died...something tells me the garden would have probably grown quite a bit...hmmm...

Yeah, I'm missing a bunch of comments too. Blogger says they're in the process of restoring it all but who knows if that'll happen.

Yeah, I bet it would've taken A & E a long time to get around to the Tree of Knowledge of Good & Evil. But those forbidden things are often the most enticing even to the innocent. Of course, according to what we LDS peeps believe they'd not had kids at all so it's good they hurried up and got to it... :)

Duh! I see what you were getting to in that A & E comment now! Wait, LDSs believe that they wouldn't have had kids? When did God tell man to be fruitful and multiply? Was it before or after the fall? Or did he only give the animals those instructions? Now I'm all confused. I suppose I should crack a Bible or something...
