Mommy Test
Posted: Wed Dec 05, 2007 12:28 am
I was out walking with my 4 year old son. He picked up
something off the ground and started to put it in his mouth. I took
the item away from him and I asked him not to do that. "Why?" my son
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 son looked at me with total admiration and asked,
"Mommy, how do you know all this stuff? You are so smart."
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 he was evidently pondering this new
information.
"OH...I get it!" he 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.
