28 weeks, 3 days: Mom Test

Just a little something a coworker sent me...



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 daugter 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 a few 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.
