Mommy Test

My friend emailed me this funny story today and I had to share it! Moms will get a kick out of this one.

I was out walking with my 4 year old son. He picked up something off the ground and started to put it in his mouth. I took the item away from him and I asked him not to do that.
"Why?" my son asked.

"Because it's been on the ground, and you don't know where it's been, it's dirty and probably has germs" I replied. At this my son looked at me with total admiration and asked,
"Mommy, how do you know all this stuff?"
"Uh," I was thinking quickly."All moms know this stuff. It's on the Mommy Test. You have to know it, or they don't let you be a Mommy."
We walked along in silence for 2 or 3 minutes, but he was evidently wondering about this new information.
"OH... I get it!" he beamed,
"So if you don't pass the test you have to be the Daddy."
"Exactly!" I replied with a big smile on my face.

Dang funny! I love little kid questions like that, especially after they think about it and come up with a new theory.

SO funny! These smart little kids are quick to learn the program nowadays. ;)
Did you list your house? We are very close. I left a big comment about cleaning and husbands and selling our houses and stuff on your last post, but I don't see it there! Dang. Sometimes when I have to type in the slanty-letter word verification it gets messed up. Does anyone else have that problem sometimes?
Anyway, I can't wait to hear how things are going. We'll keep you posted on this end!
