The Bing Crosby Joke of The Week
A little girl asks her mother, "How did the human race appear?"  "Well," the mother answers, "God made Adam and Eve, who had children, who had children, who had children who populated the earth."  Two days later, the little girl asks her father the same question.  The father answers, "Many years ago there were monkeys roaming the earth, and the human race evolved from them."  Even more confused, the little girl goes back to her mom and asks, "Mom, you told me the human race was created by God and dad just said that it evolved from monkeys." "It's very simple," answers her mom, "I told you about my side of the family and your father told you about his."
