I remember coming up with short quizzes like this back in highschool (because I clearly wasn't paying enough attention in class, haha!) and my friends would fill them out for fun (and because they were obviously not digging the classes either). So fast forward to a decade later and here I am again, coming up with a silly little quiz all in the name of fun. Just go through the questions below, remember your answers (or write them down somewhere) and check out the answers at the end to determine your type! Remember though, this is all in the name of fun and I am not a certified psychologist by any means ;)
QUIZ: WHICH TYPE OF MOMMA ARE YOU?
Q1
At the playground, your toddler is playing in the sandpit and you suddenly spot them putting some sand into their mouth and eating it! How do you react to this?

A) You quickly clear as much sand out of their mouth as you can, then wipe their face and hands with antibacterial wet-wipes. Then you sit closely by them and help them build sandcastles, not chow down on "sandwiches"!
B) You just laugh it off. It's ok, a little bit of sand won't hurt them. But you keep a closer eye on them so they won't help themselves to another serving!
C) You explain that eating sand might make them feel ill and remind them that sand is for playing and not for eating.
D) You post a question on an online forum to ask the other Mommies for their opinion about what you should do next and whether your tot will be alright.
E) You are glad that there wasn't any cat poop in the sand and hope that your little one won't get sick after this unexpected snack.
