The Grandma Test

I was out walking with my Grand 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 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 and said to her. ‘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 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 Grandpa”.
