It's quiz time! WHEE!
This quiz concerns a hypothetical couple whom we shall call, picking any old random names out of a hat... Liz and Matt, in a hypothetical situation that we shall call, equally randomly... Tuesday Night.
1) Liz goes to bed first. When Matt comes to bed almost an hour later, he notices:
- Liz is snoring.
- Liz is encroaching on his side of the bed.
- Liz is glowing in the dark.
- None of the above.
Scoring: If you said A or B, have three points! If you said C, you lose 1 point for sheer silliness.
2) Matt gets into bed, trying not to disturb Liz. This is what
happens:
- Liz mumbles sleepily at the minor disturbance and rolls over.
- Liz wakes up and becomes irrationally hysterical that Matt apparently doesn't want to touch her.
- Liz takes over more and more of the bed until Matt is left balanced on a single butt cheek, then finally and inexplicably rolls over before he is sent crashing to the floor.
- Despite his best intentions, Matt accidently leans an elbow on Liz's hair, causing her to wake shrieking in pain.
Scoring: If you said C, have three sheepish points! If you've experienced D, have two sympathetic points.
3) Liz wakes up around 2am. This is because:
- The baby has woken up and is crying.
- Matt is snoring.
- She has to pee.
- None of the above, but previous occurrences of all of them have conditioned her to wake randomly throughout the night anyway.
Scoring: If you said D, have five somewhat tired points. If you said A, B, or C, have 2 points, as it's pretty surprising that it wasn't one of those.
4) Just as Liz is falling asleep again, Matt pulls his pillow out from under his head. What does he do with it?
- Turn it over.
- Throw it on the floor.
- Fluff it.
- Place it carefully and deliberately on Liz's face.
Scoring: If you said D, have five extremely confused points.
5) Why did Matt do this?
- Liz was snoring.
- Liz was mumbling in her sleep.
- He was acting on an unconscious impulse to rid himself of her.
- He didn't realize Liz's head was in that spot.
Scoring: Matt answered D, which Liz thinks is a clever cover for the true answer of C. So we'll split the difference and say that if you answered either of those, you can have two and a half mildly suspicious points.
6) Morning arrives. Liz gets up with the baby and goes downstairs. Matt hits the snooze alarm once, then gets up and goes into the bathroom to shower. On emerging from the shower, he notes that one of his pillows is on Liz's side of the bed. He thinks:
- Damn, she made it.
- Oh, I wondered why I had that crick in my neck.
- It's time to redecorate the bedroom.
- Hmph. Liz stole one of my pillows.
Scoring: If you answered D, have 5 indignant points. If you answered C, lose two points and understand that all the other readers are laughing at you.
BONUS: Liz, trying to get to sleep on Wednesday Night, comes up with this lame idea for a journal entry. What does she do?
- Go to sleep, confident she will remember it in the morning.
- Get a note pad off her bedside table and jot the idea down so she won't forget it.
- Mentally sketch out a few of the larger points, then go to sleep.
- Obsess for half an hour, then give up and get out of bed, go downstairs, wake Matt up by noisily kicking over the baby's toys, fire up the computer, and compose the whole. freaking. thing.
Scoring: If you answered anything but D, you obviously haven't been reading this journal very long. You are hereby sentenced to the Archives.
Grading:
- 10 or fewer: For petesake, haven't you been paying attention?
- 11 - 15: Bravo! Or brava. Whichever applies.
- 16 - 20: You're either a close friend, or a stalker.
- More than 20: If you're not an actual resident of my house, then that's just creepy, and you should stop it right now.
