I know Mother's Day was a week ago, but I still wanted to post this story as a kudos to all moms out there. I was asked to read it in Sacrament Meeting last week and thought it was pretty cute. I think we all probably took the Mommy Test in the pre-existence!
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 anymore.
"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."
Thinking quickly, I replied, "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 a Daddy."
"Exactly," I replied with a big smile on my face.

Isn't that so true? Heavenly Father definitely put something amazing into mothers to do and know all that we do!!
Sorry, I forgot to tell you - Shayne started working for Marketstar a little over a month ago. He works for the Invida team.
And yes, we definitely need to get together - I need all the girls nights out that I can get!
I love it! Cute story. So, I really hope not to get like Brent on the bike, weird that is....lol! And I really hope that I do not go around and brag about my falls - like he seems to like to do...lol! Brent thinks I am strange because I had to have a "girl" looking helmet and a skirt to wear! Hope Greg's new job goes well - doesn't he start tomorrow?
Love that! Very cute very true.
