I Too Have A Mother... And She Has A Mother...

Mama Test
I was out walking with my 4-year-old daughter. She picked up something off of 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, 'Mama, how do you know all this stuff? You are so smart. ' I was thinking quickly and replied, 'All moms know this stuff. It's on the Mama test. You have to know it, or they don't let you be a Mama.' 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 daddy..' 'Exactly,' I replied with a big smile on my face.
I thought this was very appropriate for mothers day! I love you mommy and grandma! Thanks for always being there for me, putting up with me, smiling and saying "OK" after I tell you one of my many stupid ideas, telling me that you love me, sharing past memories with me, making me smile when I'm sad, just sitting there when I need someone to listen, taking care of me, and many many more things that if I kept mentioning I would go on forever! I couldn't ask for two more amazing women to try and pattern my life after!
