NEXT QUESTION

This morning, Wilson had another question for me.

'Which of these well-known species of ants is the largest?' he asked.
   A: Big Headed Ant
   B: Caribbean Crazy Ant
   C: Bullet Ant

I had no idea of the correct answer, but the Big Headed Ant sounded quite big, so I replied, 'A — the Big Headed Ant!'

W shook his head in a patronising way, observing, 'You really don't have any idea about ants, do you, New Dad? The Big Headed ant's only about 7mm long, whereas the Bullet Ant can be up to 30mm!'

'But you said "C" was always the joke answer!' I protested.

'I think you'll find I said "almost always",' he replied.

'Next question,' he continued, 'when are we going on our holiday to Weston Super Market?'

I think I know the answer to this one, so I said 'Xmas won't be long, and Ms Julia's Wedding is barely four weeks away — I don't think there's time to fit in a holiday this year...'

Wilson looked stricken and, clapping his paw to his head repeated, 'Only FOUR WEEKS? But I have so much yet to do before the wedding!'

Perhaps formulating Quiz Questions can go on the back burner for a little while now — I hope so, because they're making me feel pretty ignorant...
