Quiz

Don’t you just love all of those quizzes in magazines?  Where else can you get good advice for (almost) free?

Okay, besides there.

Back when I was a Seventeen reader, it was so useful when the quizzes helped me decided which celebrity crush would be my perfect match (Matt Dillon, Michael J.Fox, or Rick Springfield), which hairstyle flattered me the most (permed and big, permed and bigger, permed and biggest), or how to tell if he really liked me (he usually didn’t).

Then I matured.  My gosh, when I started reading those Cosmo quizzes, I learned a whole new, frightening array of knowledge.  In fact, if I had had this knowledge back when I read Seventeen, I’m betting I totally would have aced those “Does He Really Like You” quizzes.   Now, of course, the occasional quiz comes from Good Housekeeping and is usually titled something like “Can You Get Out That Stain?” with questions like “Your son skinned his knee on the sidewalk and his pants are a bloody mess.  Do you a) run it under hot water, b) run it under cold water, or c) buy new pants.”

Quizzes were totally more fun in my twenties.

Would you like to take a quiz on this gloomy, rainy, humid (at least here) day? 

a)  yes,  I’m so excited, Beth you are the BEST!

b) no, why don’t you write a real blogpost one of these days?

c)  maybe, after I get the blood out of my son’s pants

Correct answer: A…if you got that one correct, you may proceed to the quiz.  If you answered B, go read “Clover Lane” and stop whining, if you answered C:  To remove a blood stain: Immediately rinse under cold running water, then rub stain with bar soap and rinse. If it's still there, add 1/4 cup ammonia to one gallon of cold water and soak for 15 minutes. Launder with color-safe or chlorine bleach.

*my bratty brother Dave’s car, the lovely Jamae’s car (yes…two seperate occasions), my friend Cindy’s car, my friend Jenny’s car, and the 1/2 is because Dave’s boss parked his Corvette (I kid you not) behind my car, and I backed out not expecting it (pretty much the case with all of the cars), but looked in the mirror inches before I came into contact with it.
