Are you ready to be a mother?

My mom sent this to me, she heard it in church and I think it is so funny I am passing it on to my readers.

1.        Mess Test:
Smear peanut butter on the sofa and curtains.  Place a fish stick behind the couch and leave it there all summer.
2.        Toy Test:
Obtain a 55 gallon box of Lego's.  (If Lego's are not available, you may substitute roofing tacks)  Have a friend spread them all over the house.  Put on a blindfold.  Try to walk to the bathroom or kitchen.  Do not scream.  (This could wake a child at night.)

3.        Grocery Store Test:
Borrow one or two small animals (goats are best) and take them with you as you shop at the grocery store.  Always keep them in sight and pay for anything they eat or damage.

4.        Dressing Test:
Obtain one large unhappy, live octopus.  Stuff into a small net bag, making sure that all arms stay inside.

5.        Feeding Test:
Obtain a large plastic milk jug.  Fill halfway with water.  Suspend from the ceiling with a stout cord.  Start the jug swinging.  Try to insert spoonfuls of soggy cereal (such as Fruit Loops or Cheerios)  into the mouth of the jug, while pretending to be an airplane.  Now dump the contents of the jug on the floor.

6.        Night Test:
Prepare by obtaining a small cloth bag and fill it with 8 – 12 pounds of sand.  Soak it thoroughly in water.  At 8:00 pm, begin to waltz and hum with the bag until (:00pm.  Lay down your bag and set you alarm for 10:00pm.  Get up, pick up your bag, and sing every song you have ever heard.  Make up about a dozen more and sing these too until 4:00 am.  Set alarm for 5:00am.  Get up and make breakfast.  Keep this up for 5 years.  Look cheerful.

7.        Physical Test:
Obtain a large beanbag chair and attach it to the front of you clothes.  Leave it there for 9 months.  Now remove only 10 of the beans.

8.        Final Assignment:
Find a couple who already has a small child.  Lecture them on how they can improve their discipline, patience, tolerance, toilet training, and child’s table manners.  Suggest many ways they can improve.  Emphasize to them that they should never allow their children to run riot.  Enjoy this experience.  It will be the last time you will have all the answers.


I think I will make my own "Are you ready to be a Step-Mom" test in my next blog.  Hope you enjoyed the true but silly test.
