I was out walking with my then 4 year old daughter. She picked up
something off the ground and started to put it in her mouth. I asked
her not to do that. "Why?" "Because it's been laying outside and it is
dirty and probably has germs." At this point, she looked at me with
total admiration and asked, "Wow! How do you know all this stuff?"
"Uh," I was thinking quickly, "...all moms know this stuff. Um, 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 flunk, you have to be the Daddy."
