The effects of the Fall

Question 35 of the First Catechism asks, "How did Adam and Eve change when they sinned?" The answer is, "Instead of being holy and happy, they become sinful and miserable."

Yesterday, Maggie's answer to this question was: "Instead of being holy and happy, they became grumpy and miserable."

Not only was original sin imputed to the descendants of Adam, but original grumpiness as well. That does explain the mood of our children when they wake up in the morning.
