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.
I said: “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.
