Mothers Day more than just a ‘day’

 


When God created Mothers, on the sixth day of overtime the Angel said to him “You’re fiddling around a lot on this one aren’t you?” 

God replied “Have you seen the spec’s on this order? She’s to have 18,000 replaceable moving parts, run on black coffee and leftovers, have a kiss that cures everything from broken limbs to disappointed love affairs… and six pairs of hands.”

“Six pairs of hands? No way!” the angel exclaimed. 

“But,” God continued, “the challenging part is the three pairs of eyes mothers need. One pair that sees through doors, another in the back of her head that sees what she’s not supposed to see and another in front for looking at the child who has made stuff-ups while saying ‘I understand, and I love you’ – and all this without speaking.”

The angel said “Lord, take a break. Tomorrow…”

“I can’t,” said God. “I’m close to creating something like myself. Already she can heal herself when she’s sick, feed a family on a half kilo of mince and even get a twelve-year-old to have a bath and do his homework.”

Touching this creation the angel said “She’s too soft!” 

“But so tough!” God replied. “You have no idea what this mother can endure.”

“Can it think?” asked the angel.

“Not only think, it reasons and compromises,” God said.

Running its finger across the mother’s cheek the angel said “But there’s a leak!”

“That’s not a leak,” God said. “It’s a tear.”

“But what’s it for?” asked the angel.

“Well,” answered God, “It’s for joy, it’s for pain, it’s for love, it’s for disappointment, it’s for lonliness and it’s for pride.”

The angel declared “Lord, you’re a genius!”

A fictional story? You decide.
