THE GRANDMA TEST
walking with my four-year-old granddaughter.
She picked up something off the ground and started to put it in her mouth. I took the item away from her and asked her not to do that.
"Why?" my Granddaughter 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 granddaughter looked at me with total admiration and asked, "Grandma, how do you know all this stuff? You are so smart."
I was thinking quickly. "All Grandmas know this stuff.
It's on the Grandma Test."
"You have to know it, or they don't let you be a Grandma."
We walked along in silence for two or three 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 Grandpa."
"Exactly," I replied, with a big smile on my face.
