By the time the Lord made woman, 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, "Have you seen my
spec sheet on her? She has to be completely washable, but not plastic, have
over 200 movable parts, all replaceable and able to run on diet coke and
leftovers, have a lap
that can hold four
children at one time, have a kiss that
can cure anything from a scraped knee to a broken heart-and she will
do everything with only two hands."
The angel was astounded at the requirements. "Only two hands!? No way!
And that's just on the standard model?
That's too much work for one day.
Wait until tomorrow to finish."
"No. "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 work 18 hour days."
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."
The angel asked: "Will she be able to
think?"
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 reaching
out, touched the woman's cheek. "Oops, it looks like you have a leak in
this model. I told you that you were trying to put too much into this
one."
"That's not a leak," the Lord
corrected, "that's a tear!"
"What's the tear for?" the angel
asked.
"They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy and laugh when
they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up to injustice.
They don't take "no" for an answer
when they believe there is a better solution.
They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel and cheer
when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about a birth or
a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies
They grieve at the loss of a family member, yet
they are strong when they think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a
broken heart.
Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to
show how much they care about you. The heart of a
Woman is what makes the world keep turning.
They bring joy, hope and love. They have compassion and ideals. They give moral
support to their family and friends. Women have vital things to say and
everything to give."
"It sounds as if you have created
perfection," the angel said to the Lord.
"No, that is not true--there is one
flaw"
The angel inquired: "And what is woman's
one flaw?"
"THE ONE FLAW IN WOMEN, IT IS THAT THEY
FORGET THEIR WORTH..."
