Ok, this is in response to some hard blog quizzes out there. I say hard because they are designed to favor those segments of the population which have enough leisure time to keep themselves current with American pop culture and memorize vast quantities of trivia.
This is a different kind of quiz. If you spend more than 15% of your time caring for a child, you ought to know the answers to some of these babies. No cheating, please.

7. Alright trick question desrves joke answer, ready? If it's a girl she'll master it when she feels like it, and if its a boy, well, I'm still trying to teach my husband not to pee on the seat! OK that one would work better if I was married and female.
