When the good Lord was creating mothers,
He was into His 6th day of overtime,
when the angel appeared and said,
"You're doing a lot of fiddling around on this one!"

And the Lord said,
"Have you read the specs on this order?
She has to be completely washable, but not plastic;
Have 180 movable parts..all replaceable;
Run on black coffee and leftovers;
Have a lap that disappears when she stands up;

A kiss that can cure anything from a broken leg
to a disappointed love affair; and six pairs of hands".

The angel shook her head slowly and said,
"Six pairs of hands.. no way."
"It's not the hands that are causing me
the problems." said the Lord. It's the 3 pairs of eyes
that mothers have to have."

"That's on the standard model?" asked the angel.
The Lord nodded, "One pair that sees through closed
doors when she asks, "what are you kids doing in there?'
when she already knows.
Another here in the back of her head
that sees what she shouldn't but what she has to know,
and of course the ones here in front
that can look at a child when he goofs
up and say 'I understand and I love you'
without so much as uttering a word."

"Lord" said the angel, touching his sleeve gently,
"Come to bed. Tomorrow..."

"I can't." said the Lord.
"I am so close to creating something so close to myself.
Already I have one that heals herself when she is sick..
can feed a family of 6 on one pound of hamburger meat...
and can get a nine year old to stand under the shower."

The angel circled the model of a mother very slowly,
"It's too soft.." she sighed.

"But tough!" said the Lord excitedly.
"You cannot imagine what this mother can do or endure."

"Can it think?" asked the angel.
"not only think but it can reason
and compromise." said the Creator.

Finally, the angel bent over and ran
her fingers across her cheek.
"There's a leak!" she pronounced.
"I said you were trying to put too much
into this model."

"It's not a leak." said the Lord.
"It's a tear."

"What's that for?"

"It is for joy, sadness, disappointment,
pain, loneliness and pride."

"You are a genius" said the angel.

The Lord looked somber.
"I didn't put it in there."
