Do you think the pass level for the MN entrance exam should be set at:

a) level 5

b) level 3 and above

c) neither. I resent the fact that my capability as poster should be based on a one off snapshot of my abilities, that I am expected to study nothing else but MN between September and May, attend booster classes immediately after Christmas, that it will not be based on MN's assesment of all my posts throughout the year and consequently I will be booking a holiday abroad for the week the exam takes place even if this is giving the wrong message to my DC's.

Your DH just looked slightly askance at your stated intent to dump the toddler with him and run into the nearest Yates to get trollied. With which statement do you agree?

1 - Leave the bastaaaard!
2 - U no ur hubby best hun - wld he go mentul if u cum bac stinking of Lambrini?
3 - Agree entirely with his iffy look - even the smallest amounts of alcohol can be absorbed into breastmilk and you don't want to stunt Jasper's mental growth as he's definitely going to be G&T.

Your son is in trouble for kicking other children in the playground. Is he:

(a) clearly bored because he's G&T and nobody's meeting his needs
(b) clearly having a testosterone surge because they all do at his age
(c) clearly a victim of our over-feminised education system?

You are about about to pull into a busy petrol station forecourt to fill up your Mummywagon.

Do you :

A) Unbuckle all five under 8's and drag them across the forecourt, dodging traffic in order to pay. You can never be too careful these days.

B) Leave the children in the car and post on MN later wearing a flameproof suit to ask if you did the right thing.

C) None of the above, your DH always fills up the car for you .
