The Making Of The Mother

[Azaad]

Waheguru was busy making mothers when all of a sudden, an Angel appeared and said "Why are you spending so much time on this one?"

And Waheguru 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.

Waheguru 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.

Waheguru 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 Waheguru "This is too much work for one day. Wait until tomorrow to finish."

"But I can't!" Waheguru 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 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, Waheguru."

"She is soft," Waheguru 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.

Waheguru 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." Waheguru objected. "That's a tear!"

"What's the tear for?" the Angel asked.

Waheguru 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, Waheguru. You thought of everything for this one. You even created the tear!"

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

Wonderful.

A mother of two can agree to many points. I am sure the mother of 3 or six will agree to each point.

And my kids do hear this one a lot, that I have eyes on the back too, you know, when 8yr old says, mommy how do u know what I was doing??

and 3 pairs of hands, I guess God actually ended up making many pair of hands.

you didn't mention many pairs of ears as well when all the kids and their dad talk at the same time and each begs for attention more than another.

And a heart loving everybody equally, when each kid thinks s/he should be loved more than the other.

And tough job playing fair, when each kid says that mommy its not fair, why the other one gets a toy but not him.

That drives me nuts, when it comes to whom to give the toy when they both are fighting over one toy while forgetting aout 10 others sitting idle in the room.

And believe me those tears are very helpful. They heal the wounds without any medicine. And tears could be felt even when u don't see mother in front of you. And mother could feel the pain even when u are thousands miles away from her.

I am sure God had to give a lot of thought while making mother.
