When God created Mothers....

As I was going through mementos stashed in one of my dresser's drawers, came across this note. I got it from my youngest when he was a  preschooler with his mother's day gift, thought I'd share it with other moms!

When the good Lord was creating mothers, He was in to his sixth day of overtime when an 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 problems," said the Lord. "It's the three 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 in the back of her head that sees what she shouldn't but what she has to know. And of course, the ones in the 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,"go to bed tomorrow is another......"
"I can't," said the Lord. " I'm so close now. Already I have one that heals herself when she is sick, can feed a family of six on one pound of hamburger, and can get a nine year old to stand under a 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?"
'Not only think, but it can reason and compromise" said the Creator. Finally, the angel bent over and ran her finger across her cheek.
" There's a leak," she pronounced.
" It's not a leak," said the Lord. "It's a tear."
"What's that for?"
" It's for joy, sadness, disappointment, pain, loneliness and pride."
"You are a Genius," said the angel.
The Lord looked somber," I didn't put it there."
