Mom

I was out walking with my 4 year old daughter. She picked up something off the ground and
started to put it in her mouth. I took the item away from her and I asked her not to do that.

'Why?' my daughter asked.

'Because it's been on the ground, you don't know where it's been, it's dirty, and probably has
germs, ' I replied.

At this point, my daughter looked at me with total admiration and asked, 'Momma, how do
you know all this stuff, you are so smart.'

I was thinking quickly. 'All moms know this stuff. It's on the Mom Test. You have to know it,
or they don't let you be a Mom.'

We walked along in silence of or 2 or 3 minutes, but she was evidently pondering this new
information. 'OH...I get it!' she beamed, 'So if you don't pass the test you have to be
The Dad.'

'Exactly' I replied back with a big smile on my face.
