The
Making Of A Mother

By the time the Lord made mothers, He was into the sixth day 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 read the spec
sheet on her? She has to be completely washable, but not elastic; 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 pairs of eyes that mothers must have!"



"And that's on the standard model?" the Angel
asked.




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 am 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 a 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 for this one. You even created the tear!"




The Lord looked at the Angel and smiled and said, "I'm
afraid you are wrong again. I created the woman, but she created the tear!"
