I’ve just seen
this on Facebook and thought it was too good not to shareJ
‘I was out
walking with my 4.5-year-old son. He picked up something from the ground and
started to put it in his mouth. I took it away from him and asked him
not to do that.
'Why?' my son
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 son looked at me with total admiration and asked, 'Mum, how do you know all this stuff? You are so smart.’
Thinking quickly I replied, ‘All mums know this stuff. It's on the Mum Test. You have to know it or they don't let you be a Mum.'
We walked along in silence for two or three minutes but he
was evidently pondering this new information.
'Oh . . . I get it!’ he 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.
