Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who left their bike in the driveway when Tom came home?

Answer: Tommy

When Tom entered the house, Tommy ran up to his father and apologized for having left his bicycle on the driveway. Tommy then ran out to put the bike away. Joan told Tom not to be too mad as Tommy had cleaned up the entire backyard - including the scrap lumber.

2. Why was everyone being nice to Tom when he came home?

Answer: Mary's pregnant friend wanted to stay with the family

Mary's friend Matilda had been kicked out of her apartment and needed a place to stay. The family knew it would be hard to get Tom's approval because Matilda wasn't married, so they all tried being nice to him.

3. Why wasn't Matilda married?

Answer: She didn't want to be

Matilda explained to Joan that she wanted to have a child, so she got pregnant. Matilda also didn't believe in marriage.

4. When Tom came into the living room to find Joan, what was Matilda doing?

Answer: Lamaze

Matilda was practicing Lamaze with Mary as her coach. Tom was a bit un-nerved by seeing Matilda practicing in the living room with Mary, Joan and Nicholas.

5. What was Matilda's focus point?

Answer: Nicholas' t-shirt

Matilda used Nicholas' bullseye t-shirt as her focus point. He even lent it to her, after warning her not to break it.

6. Who was sent to check up on Susan's boyfriend?

Answer: David

Tom went to David's apartment to ask David what he knew about the boyfriend. While Tom was there, Joan called and asked David to do the same. Neither Tom nor Joan wanted the other to know what they were doing.

David and a friend met Susan's boyfriend at a bar. David had been asked by both Tom and Joan to give them information on the boy that Susan intended to go skiing with.

7. What type of food did Matilda say was great with raisins?

Answer: sour cream

Matilda was eating sour cream right out of the tub. When Tom asked how she could do it, she mentioned that it was even better with raisins. Matilda ate standing up so that she felt less guilty eating all the food.

8. Who drove Matilda to the hospital?

Answer: Tom

Mary was studying on campus and no one could find her. In the interim, Tom and Joan drove her to the hospital. While waiting for Joan to get the car keys, Tom held Matilda's hand.

9. Why did Susan come back from her skiing trip early?

Answer: There was no snow

Susan came home early and told Tom that they should have checked the weather report first. Tom was overjoyed to see his daughter come home - he'd been worried Susan would end up like Matilda (pregnant and unmarried).

10. Who coached Matilda through labor?

Answer: Tom

Tom and Joan were in the waiting room when the doctor came in and explained that Matilda was asking for them. Tom told Joan to go, but the doctor explained that Matilda had specifically asked for Tom. With some pushing, Tom went to go help Matilda while Joan stayed in the waiting room.

Despite having eight children, Tom wasn't very experienced in the delivery side of things. With the first five children, he'd kissed Joan at the door and went off to have a beer.

After Matilda found a new apartment, Tommy decided the family could take in one more unmarried mother: a dog about to have puppies.
