“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, 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, ‘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.”
