My mom sent this to me today and I got such a giggle out of it. No offence dads.

The Mommy Test

I was out walking with my 4-year-old daughter. She picked up something off 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, "Mommy, how do you know all this stuff? You are so smart."

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 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 back with a big smile on my face.

When you're finished laughing, send this to a Mom.

That is so funny, thanks for sharing!

I don't get it.

If being the mommy means the nine months of pregnancy, labour, breast feeding, majority of diaper changes, sick days, screaming, dinner time, ect.

Are you sure 'mommy' was the parent who passed the test

I'm glad I "failed" as I sit on the couch with a beer.

See thats the difference between moms and dads. Moms ask their kids to stop. Dads tell their kids to stop, and mean it. Stay home during the day and turn on a talk show. Parents who "ask" their kids to do things dont get very far. By the time the kid is 13, he/she is usually beating the crap out of their mother and calling her a bitch.

I stay home, but I don't watch talk shows. And yes...when I say STOP, it means STOP NOW, not CAN WE NEGOTIATE ON

a) the meaning of the word 'stop'

b) an appropriate time for you to stop,

c) an appropriate place to stop.

STOP means STOP NOW. Daddy's a hard ass, and Junior knows and respects this.

I don't completely agree. My wife and I are pretty much hard asses, but we phrase a lot of things as requests at first. Starting with "Can you please clean up this room?" actually works. It might not work the first few times you phrase it as a request, but when they soon learn that they are going to clean the fucker no matter what, then they learn that it is better to respond to the request with "Okay," before it escalates.

I know that's not exactly what you were saying, but it helps to make damn sure the little fuckers learn to be polite.

You are right sometimes it is not thought of that way.

"Junior, pick up your toys now!"

and we wonder why an hour later we hear,

"Mom, get me a drink"

My kids eventually learned that when I nicely tell them to do something and not order them like their Dad it really is the same. We have had a few blow outs where I have had to let them know I am not like daddy. When I ask you to do it I am not asking if you want to do it, I am telling you to do it, so get it straight and get it done NOW!!!!!!!

Another good example of why men make better dictators than women.

You're right dad.
