| I was out walking with my 4-year-old Granddaughter. 
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 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 2 or 3 minutes, but she
 was evidently pondering this new information.
 
 "Ooh... I get it!" she beamed, "So if you don't pass the
 test you have to be the Grandpa."
 "Exaaaactly," I replied with a big smile on my face.
