The Mommy Test

I was out walking with my 4 year old daughter.

She picked something up 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,

"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 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 Daddy."

"Exactly" I replied back with a big smile on my face.

I received this in an email and just had to share it! Having been a single parent for many years, I've been both Mommy and Daddy -- I want to acknowledge all those amazing Moms out there!
