The Mom Test

When I saw this one a few months ago, I knew it would be the perfect Father's Day post.


Happy Father's Day to all you wonderful dads out there!


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


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 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.

Happy Father’s Day to the man who I’m really glad didn’t pass the test. You make the best Dad in the world!
