A Little Of This And That
The Mommy Test
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 laying outside, 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, "Wow! How do you know all this stuff?"
"Uh," ...I was thinking quickly, "All Moms know this stuff.
It's on the Mommy Test. You have to know it, or they don't
let you be a Mommy."
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 Daddy."
"Exactly" I replied back with a big smile on my face and joy
in my heart.
