Women Are Truly Amazing

By the time the Lord made mothers, he was

into his sixth day of working overtime. An

Angel appeared and said, "Why are you

spending so much time on this one?"

And the Lord answered and said,

"Have you seen the spec sheet on her?

She has to be completely washable,

 but not plastic, have 200 movable parts,

 all replaceable, run on black coffee and leftovers,

 have a lap that can hold three children

at one time and that disappears when she stands

up, have a kiss that can cure anything from a

scraped knee to a broken heart, and have six

pairs of hands."

The Angel was astounded at the requirements

for this one. "Six pairs of hands! No way!",

said the Angel.  The Lord replied, "Oh, it's not

the hands that are the problem. It's the three

pair of eyes that the mothers must have!"

"And that's just the standard model?" asked

the Angel. The Lord nodded in agreement,

"Yep, one pair of eyes are to see through the

closed door as she asks her children what they

are doing, even though she already knows.

Another pair in the back of her head are to see

what she needs to know even though no one

thinks she can. And the third pair are here in

the front of her head. They are for looking at an

errant child and saying that she understands

and loves him or her without even saying a

single word." The Angel tried to stop the Lord.

"This is too much work for one day."

Wait until tomorrow to finish. "But I can't!"

the Lord protested, "I'm so close to finishing this

creation that is so close to my own heart. She

already heals herself when she is sick and can

feed a family of six on one pound of

 hamburger and can get a nine year-old

to stand in the shower!"

The Angel moved closer and touched

the woman. "But you have made her so

soft, Lord." "She is soft," the Lord agreed,

"but I have also made her tough. You have no

idea what she can endure or accomplish."

"Will she be able to think?" asked the Angel.

The Lord replied, "Not only will she be able to

think, she will be able to reason, and negotiate."

The Angel then noticed something and

reached out and touched the woman's cheek.

"Oops, it looks like you have a leak with this

model. I told you that you were trying to put

too much into this one." "That's not a leak,"

the Lord objected, "that's a tear!" "What's

the tear for?", the Angel asked. The Lord said,

"The tear is her way of expressing her joy, her

sorrow, her disappointment, her pain, her

loneliness, her grief, and her pride."

The Angel was impressed. "You are a genius,

Lord. You thought of everything.  Women

are truly amazing!"
