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 daddy! "Exactly!!"
I replied with a big smile on my face.
P.S. Just a story I stumbled across-
but too cute not to share!
