I was out walking with my then 4 year old daughter. She picked up something off the ground and started to put it in her mouth. I asked her not to do that.

"Why?" she asked.

I replied, "Because it's been lying outside and is dirty and probably has germs." At this point, she looked at me with total admiration and said, "Wow ! How do you know all this stuff ? "

" Uh," I was thinking quickly, "Everyone knows this stuff, it's on the Mommy test. You have to know it, or they don't let you be a Mommy."

"Oh." she replied. We walked along in silence for 2 or 3 minutes, but she was evidently pondering this new information.

" I get it ! " she beamed. " Then if you flunk, you get to be the
Daddy!"
