Quiz Time:

Q. What did we happen to hear when the television just happened to be tuned to Wife Swap while we were otherwise engaged in educational activities such as reading Shakespeare and finally getting around to doing calculus for fun:

a) “I’m a b***h. I just can’t help it … I’m doing this to show my kids that I’m not that bad.”

b) “They look like they’re a black family.” Pause “But their house is so clean!”

c) “We use words like the F word, the S word and the N word.”

d) “There is no curfew. You boys can go out whenever you like and go wherever you like…. You are not allowed to go to football practice.”

e) “We’re even getting some bedroom action nowadays.” Eww

Answers after you’ve all had a go.
