The Mama Test

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, '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 back with a big smile on my face...
 
(When you're finished laughing, send this to a Mama!!)
