The Mama Test

My aunt sent me this, and here it is for all the rest of you mamas.

I was out walking with my 4-year-old daughter. She picked up something off of 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, "Mama, how do you know all this stuff ? You are so smart."

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

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 with a big smile on my face.

Happy Friday!
