THE MUM TEST
I was out walking with my 4-year-old daughter. She picked up something off
of 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,
'Mum, how do you know all this stuff? You are so smart..'
I was thinking quickly and replied, 'All mums know this stuff. It's on the
Mum Test. You have to know it, or they don't let you be a Mum.'
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 with a big smile on my face.
When you're finished laughing, share this to a Mum.
