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.
