Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The story starts off in a thriving U.S. metropolitan area. A traffic jam had created gridlock and a man driving in his car was late for work. How unfortunate! He screamed out the window to the passersby, "Odio mi vida!" Many looked at him strangely and a baby started crying. What did he say to everyone?

Answer: a binkie

The mother gave the baby a pacifier to suck on, but the "binkie" hadn't been working too well.
