A world of my own

Just got this email from a friend... thought I'd share it....

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,

'Mum, how do you know all this stuff? You are so smart.'

I was thinking quickly and replied, 'All mums know this stuff. It's on the Mum Test. You have to know it, or they don't let you be a Mum.'

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 dad.'

'Exactly,' I replied with a big smile on my face.

It's instilled in females from a very early age. It's the only way for them to counteract the overwhelming sense of inferiority.

When little boys are out walking with their dads the conversation usually goes along the lines of:

"What team shall I support, dad?"

"My team, son."

"Why dad."

"So we can go to the match together, son."

"Will mum be coming?"

...at this point he gets a clip round the ear....

"Don't be so bloody daft, son, who do you think will be make the dinner then?"
