Mommy Test
I was out walking with my then 4 year old daughter. She picked
up something off the ground and started to put it in her mouth.
I asked her not to do that. "Why?" she asked.
"Because it's been laying outside and is dirty
and probably has germs." At this point, she looked
at me with total admiration and asked, "Wow! How do
you know all this stuff?"
"Uh, " I was thinking quickly, . . . "every
mommy knows this stuff. Um, 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. "I get
it!" she beamed. "Then if you flunk, you have
to be the Daddy."
