Trick question? You didn't choose TRICK question on the pre-quiz, did you? I don't do trick questions! That would be a zero sum game kind of strategy! I'm not like that. I'm FOR YOU! Do NOT select this answer! It's not the correct one. It just my way of helping you over the fact that you did have teachers that were trying to trick you to prove that they were smarter than you... but I'm not like that. Hugs to everyone!

It depends on who you married is NEVER going to be the right answer here! Remember ~ this whole program is about building skills ... we don't bother to go along with the majority culture narrative that it's about WHO you married... NADA... it's about SKILLS. [That's right I slipped a little MYTH-BUSTING into the quiz!]
