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."
>
> But I won't," the Lord 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 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."
>
> "Will she be able to think?", asked the angel.
>
> 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.
>
> The Lord said, "The tear is her way of expressing her joy, her sorrow, her
> pain, her disappointment, her love, her loneliness, her grief and her
> pride."
>
> The angel was impressed. "You are a genius, Lord. You thought of
everything!
> Woman is truly amazing."
>
> And she is! Women have strengths that amaze men. They bear hardships and
> they carry burdens, but they hold happiness, love and joy. 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 help
to
> heal a broken heart. Women come in all sizes, in all colours and shapes.
> 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 and hope. They have compassion and ideals. They give moral support to
> their family and friends. Women have vital things to say and everything to
> give.

> Pass this along to your women friends to remind them how amazing they are;
> however if there's one flaw in women, it is that they tend to forget their
