Day 8 - The Mom Test

I sent this to some people, but too cute not to post. Clearly not about me, as I have no daughters:

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.

'OHHH . . . 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.

When you're finished laughing, send this to a Mom.

In honor of the Mom Test, a picture of my mom :-)
