As a mother was out walking with her four-year-old daughter, the little one picked something up off the ground and started to put it in her mouth. The mom quickly took the item away and told her not to do that.
The child asked why, and Mom said, “Because it’s been on the ground. You don’t know where it’s been, it’s dirty, and probably has germs.”
Her daughter asked, “Momma, how do you know all this stuff? You are so smart!”
The mother said, “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.”
The little girl thought for a minute and replied, “So, if you don’t pass the test you have to be a dad, right?”
“Exactly,” came the immediate response.
