Mom Test
Posted: Tue Apr 29, 2008 10:28 pm
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 for 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.
