I was out walking with my 4-year-old daughter. 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. '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 dad.'
'Exactly,' I replied with a big smile on my face.
When you're finished laughing, send this to a Mama.
