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.
