THE FOOTBALL WIFE

Thank you to my friend who gave me permission to share this with all of you! This is why a football wife is something special!

THE GOOD LORD WAS CREATING A MODEL FOR FOOTBALL WIVES, AND WAS INTO HIS SIXTH DAY OF OVERTIME WHEN AN ANGEL APPEARED. SHE SAID, "LORD YOU SEEM TO BE HAVING A LOT OF TROUBLE WITH THIS ONE. WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE STANDARD MODEL?" THE LORD REPLIED, "HAVE YOU SEEN THE SPECS ON THIS ORDER? SHE HAS TO BE COMPLETELY INDEPENDENT, POSSESS THE QUALITIES OF BOTH MOTHER AND FATHER, BE A PERFECT HOSTESS TO 4 OR 40 WITH AN HOURS NOTICE, RUN ON BLACK COFFEE, HANDLE EVERY EMERGENCY IMAGINABLE WITHOUT A MANUEL, BE ABLE TO CARRY ON CHEERFULLY, EV EN IF SHE IS PREGNANT AND HAS THE FLU, AND SHE MUST BE WILLING TO MOVE TO A NEW LOCATION 10 TIMES IN 17 YEARS. THE ANGEL SHOOK HER HEAD. "SIX PAIRS OF HANDS? NO WAY." THE LORD CONTINUED, "DON'T WORRY, WE WILL MAKE OTHER FOOTBALL WIVES TO HELP HER. AND WE WILL GIVE HER AN UNUSUALLY STRONG HEART SO IT CAN SWELL WITH PRIDE IN HER HUSBANDS ACHIEVEMENTS, SUSTAIN THE PAIN OF SEPARATIONS, BEAT SOUNDLY WHEN IT IS OVERWORKED AND TIRED, & BE LARGE ENOUGH TO SAY, "I UNDERSTAND WHEN SHE DOESN'T, AND SAY I LOVE YOU REGARDLESS."LORD, SAID THE ANGEL, TOUCHING HIS ARM GENTLY, "GO TO BED & GET SOME REST. YOU CAN FINISH THIS TOMORROW." "I CAN'T STOP NOW," SAID THE LORD, "I AM SO CLOSE TO CREATING SOMETHING UNIQUE. ALREADY THIS MODEL HEALS HERSELF WHEN SHE IS SICK, CAN PUT UP 6 UNEXPECTED GUESTS FOR THE WEEKEND, WAVE GOODBYE TO HER HUSBAND AND UNDERSTANDS WHY IT IS IMPORTANT THAT HE LEAVE."
THE ANGEL CIRCLED THE MODEL OF THE FOOTBALL WIFE, LOOKED AT IT CLOSELY AND SIGNED, "IT LOOKS FINE, BUT IT'S TOO SOFT." "SHE MIGHT LOOK SOFT," REPLIED THE LORD, "BUT SHE HAS STRENGTH OF A LION. YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT SHE CAN ENDURE."FINALLY THE ANGEL BENT OVER AND RAN HER FINGER ACROSS THE CHEEK OF THE LORD'S CREATION. "THERE'S A LEAK," SHE ANNOUNCED. "SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE CONSTRUCTION. I AM NOT SURPRISED THAT IT HAS CRACKED. YOU ARE TRYING TO PUT TOO MUCH INTO THIS MODEL."THE LORD APPEARED OFFENDED AT THE ANGEL'S LACK OF CONFIDENCE. "WHAT YOU SEE IS NOT A LEAK, IT IS A TEAR."
"A TEAR WHAT IS IT THERE FOR?" ASKED THE ANGEL.
THE LORD REPLIED. "IT'S FOR JOY, SADNESS, PAIN, DISAPPOINTMENT, LONELINESS, PRIDE & DEDICATION TO ALL THE THINGS SHE & HER HUSBAND HOLD DEAR."
"YOUR A GENIUS!" EXCLAIMED THE ANGEL.
THE LORD LOOKED PUZZLED & REPLIED, "I DIDN'T PUT IT THERE."
