Mom Test
>>I was out walking with my 4 year old daughter. She picked up something off Â
>>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.
