Ten Commandments

Here's the scene:
My wife and I are sitting on our deck talking with sons 1 & 2. Number 3 is playing basketball in the driveway. Son number 2 asks me to explain what the 10 Commandments are.

Dad: "Well there was a man named Moses who was leading the Israelites through the desert...."
Son Number 1: "Didnt they get lost in the desert for 40 years?"
Dad:(Impressed)"Very Good!"
Mom: "How did you learn that?
Son Number 1: "The Simpsons"
Dad: (Impressed)
Mom:"Oh Lord...."
Son Number 2: "Lost for 40 years? What an Asshole!"
Dad & Son Number 1: (Laughing like Bevis & Butthead)
Mom: "Watch your mouth!"
Dad: (Regaining composure, trying to finish the story)"So Moses goes to the top of Mount Ararat to talk to God, and hopefully get some decent directions. God comes to him as a Burning Bush...
Sons 1 & 2 are cracking up: "A WHAT?!!?!"
Dad: "A Burning Bush! God didnt have good special effects back then!...so anyway God gave Moses two big stone tablets that he had carved the ten comandments on."
Son Number 2: "God had to carve them on a rock?"
Dad:"Yeah, I guess, well while Moses was talking to the Burning Bush (Sons laughing again) His people had melted down a bunch of gold jewelry and made a sculpture of a cow that they were going to worship"
Both Sons Belly laughing : "A COW?!?!"
Dad: "Yes, they wanted to worship a cow....So anyway Moses sees them with the cow, and gets all pissed off and smashes the two stones tablets!"
Son Number 1: "So how do they know what the hell they said?"
Son Number 2: "Who's the God with like 6 arms, he looks cool, I'm gonna worship him"
Dad: "I'm getting another beer"
