You Only Get One Chance to Make a First Impression . . .

. . . So I'll try to make a good one! 

I'll be blogging about being a dad to my two young sons (and a third child due in July), a husband to my wife, a son to my parents, and other topics I may have opinions or thoughts on.


With that said I'll share an email that has made the rounds several times, but I thought fitting to kick of my blog.

Subject: The Mom Test

A mother was out walking with her 4 year old daughter. The daughter picked something off the ground and started to put it in her mouth. The mom took the item away from her and asked her not to do that.

"Why?" the daughter asked.

"Because it's been on the ground, you don't know where it's been, it's dirty, and probably has germs", the mom replied.

At this point the daughter looked at her mom with total admiration and asked, "Momma, how do you know all this stuff, you are so smart."

The mom was thinking quickly. "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."

They walked along in silence for a few minutes, but the daughter was still pondering this new information. Suddenly the daughter said, "Oh . . . I get it!" she beamed. "So if you don't pass the test you have to be the dad?"

"Exactly!" the mom replied back with a big smile on her face.
