“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,

“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 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 back with a big smile on my face.
