I haven’t tested you, my readership for a very long time. I hope you have been studying. You are allowed 10 minutes perusal and 40 minutes for writing. If you require additional paper, please raise your hand quietly and wait for the old person to give you some. Toilet breaks are not permitted. So you better go before hand. Prizes for the winner*
Let’s just dive straight in, shall we?
1. How did Tasmiya and Farhad celebrate their TENTH wedding anniversary?
a) a blissful escape from the rat race, children and all modern life with a holiday on a secluded island, private beach, skinny dipping et al.
b) a cursory peck on the cheek
c) a truckload of gifts made from/themed from tin – the traditional material for the tenth year. How utterly sweet and thoughtful.
d) Tasmiya had supper at mum’s (with the children) and Farhad a bit tired, stayed at home. Eh. Who said romance was dead?

3. How many times does Tasmiya have to politely ask the children to do something before it gets done?
a) just the once – my parenting skills are teh bomb! and the boys are compliant and obedient at all times
b) twice – sometimes they get distracted and need reminding
c) FOUR TIMES and then when they finally do it, it’s only half done
d) Politely? Are you kidding me? The only time they do anything is if I’m yelling at them!
