Any ladies recognise this?

[marval]

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 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 .

HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN, IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.

[daffy654]

That is so sickly sweet that it just made my teeth rot!

[B00]

Can't believe I read it to the end, I was waiting for a punchline- that didn't happen, gutted!

Sorry marvel, not your best chick.

[evedawn]

Well I DO like it. Alot

[askyourgran]

That sounds so cheesy American marvel. Nice thought, but we know all that without the sugar. At least my ma-in-law with her nine kids was one of those.

[thenry]

And one flew over the cuckoos nest !

[mrs.chappie]

Wow, that's one hell of a chat-up line....

[Ann]

I agree with Boo - I also was reading it waiting for the amusing punchline which never came. I don't usually side with the men but why not them too? Its just one of those yukky American sentimental emails to which I hit delete very quickly ........... there are loads of them all soppy slush about children dying which are supposed to pull at the heartstrings - they would do with me if they were genuine but all are made up for chain letter emails threatening you with bad luck if you don't forward them on.

If we're going back to the creation story, remember:
Adam was made from dirt. Eve was made from living flesh
Adam was made outside paradise. Eve was made inside paradise.

[flicrat]

Can't recognise myself in that, but I might be the exception that proved the rule? LOL
