The Mom Test

“Because it’s been on the ground, and you don’t know where it’s been. It’s dirty. And it probably has germs.”

At this point, my daughter looked at me with absolute admiration and asked, “Mom, how do you know all this stuff? You are so smart.”

I thought quickly and replied, “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.”
