When God Created Mothers
It is said when God created mothers, an angel appeared and said, “You sure are doing a lot of extra work on this one!”
The Lord replied, “Have you seen the specs on her? She has to be completely washable, but not plastic; run on black coffee and leftovers; give a kiss that can cure anything - from a broken leg to a disappointing love affair; and six pair of hands.”
The angel shook his head and said, “Six pair of hands? No way!”
Then the Lord said, “But it’s not the hands that are causing me problems. It’s the 3 pair of eyes that mothers have to have. One pair that sees through closed doors when she asks, “What are you kids doing in there?” - when she already knows. Another in the back of her head that sees what she shouldn’t, and of course the ones in front that look at a child when he goofs up and can say, “I understand and I love you”- without so much as uttering a word.
Imagine, she will have to heal herself when she is sick...feed a family of six on 1 pound of hamburger...get a 9-year-old to stand under a shower...and then she will have to think, reason and compromise all at the same time.”
Finally, the angel bent over and ran his finger across the tender cheek of the mother and said, “I see a leak, I think you’re putting too much in her.”
The Lord responded, “That’s not a leak, that’s a tear.” Then the angel asked, “Well, what’s it for?” The Lord replied, “It’s to go with the joy, sadness, disappointment, pain, loneliness and pride she’ll experience all through her life.” Then the angel shouted though out the halls of heaven, “You’re a genius!”
God was really thinking when he created Moms!
Mothers teach on a daily basis…
RELIGION: "You better pray the stain will come out of the carpet."
FORESIGHT: "Make sure you wear clean underwear, in case you’re in an accident."
IRONY: "Keep laughing and I’ll give you something to cry about."
STAMINA: "You’ll sit there ’til all that spinach is finished."
WEATHER: "It looks as if a tornado swept through your room."
THE CIRCLE OF LIFE: "I brought you into this world, and I can take you out."
BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION: "Stop acting like your father!"
