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 on the ground. It's dirty, and it probably has
germs," I replied.
At this point, my daughter looked at me with total admiration and asked,
"Momma, how do you know all this stuff? You are so smart."
I was thinking quickly. "All moms know this stuff. It's on the Mom Test.
You have to know it, or they don't let you be a Mom."
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 back with a big smile on my face.
