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, “Mamma, how do you know all this stuff, you are so smart.”
I was thinking quickly. I said: “All moms know this stuff. It’s on the Mom Test. You have to know it, or they don’t let you be a Mom.”
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 back with a big smile on my face.

I am offended, and call for you to be banned from the internets.

Why not - there might be a spider in it, and it's better to be safe than sorry.

That reminds me of something recent.
Quick Question: please raise your hand if you know someone (ie no need to self-identify) who would be offended by a set of promotional images featuring a man and a woman, around 30 years old. They are dressed normally. Totally nothing out of the ordinary. Just standing there.
Are there any (truly) offensive or off-putting (to you or someone you know) things about this image?
cheers

Nothing I can think of. Mind you, some peoples idea of "normal dress" is ... um ... a little odd.
(Google "people of walmart" and you'll see what I mean).

Yeah, but when a bug gets in the house who, even Mom, do they call?
That's right, Dad, the Bugslayer.

In our home, we call one of the cats...

You have to call them for this. Mine have always had a bug radar, even when asleep.

It's more like passive sonar, but you are right.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

depends on the bug. I won't go near spiders. All mom's thing on that. But mice, snakes and other criters. I get to take care of them. Or the dog does.

At my house, we bring in a chicken or two. There is always one or two handing around any door, especially when it is either very hot or very cold outside.
