Have 180 moveable 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." <br /><br />The angel shook her head slowly and said. "Six pairs of hands.... no way." <br /><br />It's not the hands that are causing me problems," God remarked, "it's the three pairs of eyes that mothers have to have." <br /><br />That's on the standard model?" asked the angel. God nodded. <br /><br />One pair that sees through closed doors when she asks, 'What are you kids doing in there?' when she already knows. Another here in the back of her head that sees what she shouldn't but what she has to know, and of course the ones here in 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." <br /><br />God," said the angel touching his sleeve gently, "Get some rest tomorrow...." <br /><br />I can't," said God, "I'm so close to creating something so close to myself. Already I have one who 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." <br /><br />The angel circled the model of a mother very slowly. "It's too soft," she sighed. <br /><br />But tough!" said God excitedly. "You can imagine what this mother can do or endure." <br /><br />Can it think?" <br /><br />Not only can it think, but it can reason and compromise," said the Creator. <br /><br />Finally, the angel bent over and ran her finger across the cheek. <br /><br />There's a leak," she pronounced. "I told You that You were trying to put too much into this model." <br /><br />It's not a leak," said the Lord, "It's a tear." <br /><br />What's it for?" <br /><br />It's for joy, sadness, disappointment, pain, loneliness, and pride." <br /><br />You are a genius, " said the angel. <br /><br />Somberly, God said, "I didn't put it there.” <br /> ― <span class="authorOrTitle"> Erma Bombeck, </span> <span id=quote_book_link_432284> <a class="authorOrTitle" href="/work/quotes/421248">When God Created Mothers</a> </span> </div> <div class="quoteFooter"> <div class="greyText smallText left"> tags: <a href="/quotes/tag/children">children</a>, <a href="/quotes/tag/family">family</a>, <a href="/quotes/tag/humor">humor</a>, <a href="/quotes/tag/love">love</a>, <a href="/quotes/tag/mothers">mothers</a>, <a href="/quotes/tag/mothers-day">mothers-day</a>, <a href="/quotes/tag/sadness">sadness</a> </div> <div class="right"> <a class="smallText" title="View this quote" href="/quotes/193095-when-god-created-mothers-when-the-good-lord-was-creating">2880 likes</a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="action"> <a class="gr-button gr-button--small" rel="nofollow" href="/user/new">Like</a> </div> <br class="clear"/> </div> <div class="quote mediumText "> <div class="quoteDetails "> <a class="leftAlignedImage quoteAvatar " href="/author/show/11672.Ned_Vizzini"> <img alt="Ned Vizzini" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/authors/1341737392i/11672._UX200_CR0,33,200,200_.jpg" /> </a> <div class="quoteText"> “I can't eat and I can't sleep.

By early afternoon he was overcome by the feeling that nothing was right, or nothing was right for him, and by the desire to be alone. By evening he was fulfilled: alone in the magnitude of his grief, alone in his aimless guilt, alone even in his loneliness. <i>I am not sad,</i> he would repeat to himself over and over, <i>I am not sad</i>. As if he might one day convince himself. Or fool himself. Or convince others--the only thing worse than being sad is for others to know that you are sad. <i>I am not sad. I am not sad. </i>Because his life had unlimited potential for happiness, insofar as it was an empty white room. He would fall asleep with his heart at the foot of his bed, like some domesticated animal that was no part of him at all. And each morning he would wake with it again in the cupboard of his rib cage, having become a little heavier, a little weaker, but still pumping.
