The Mommy 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, "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.

LOL! How cute.. That reminds me of a gross kid story :)... My son is also 4... I had just bought an ant farm for him, and we were outside looking for ants. I figured, what better place to find some big fat ants than around the dumpster? We started looking...well a few minutes later I look over and my son has something white poking out of his mouth like a cigarette. I get a closer look and OH MY GOD... He had a tampon holder hanging out of it. Yes, I threw up right there, and called 911. EWWWWWWWWWww -Missy
