Mumsey Once Said: "We Need To Talk About Kevin" Quiz

My name's Kevin Khatchadourian and on April 8th 1999 I killed a bunch of people at my school. Lionel Shriver wrote a book about it, from Mumsey's point of view. Mumsey knew me best of all but still didn't know me, so don't kid yourself: neither do you.

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: A Wing and a Prayer

Travel R Us is the travel agency Mumsey got a job at after she had to sell her own company. Lonely Planet is a travel guide book company that exists in real life and in the book it is mentioned to be a competitor to her A Wing and a Prayer company. Before I was born she used to travel the world even though she never really enjoyed it; it is possible that it was a reaction to her own mother's mental inability to leave her own house as she, Mumsey, was growing up.

2. Okay, enough about dear Mumsey for now; what's the name of the correctional facility I'm currently serving my time at?

Answer: Claverack Juvenile Correctional Facility

I don't know why she even bothered but when Mumsey had to sell our old house and get herself something cheaper she made sure to find something within driving distance of this dump. Must be my winning personality, I guess. When I turn 18, however, I'll be transferred to Sing Sing to serve the rest of my sentence as an adult.

3. Dad's father was like a broken record some times, he just kept repeating this one saying; do you remember what it was?

Answer: Materials are everything

Grandad used to say this all the time but once I heard Mumsey use it to convince Dad that glass was the best material for Celia's new prosthetic eye. By the way, I still don't feel guilty about that accident, not my fault li'l sis decided to drench her face with drain cleaner.

4. He calls me his best friend, I call him my pet hamster. He did a site "in my name" after the school shooting, called KK's_best_friend.com. You know his name?

Answer: Pug

My dad thought he was a bad influence on me; Mumsey knew better, that I was more likely a bad influence on him.

5. Once Mumsey asked me why I chose those exact people to shoot at school and I told her: because I didn't like them. She didn't believe me though; why does she think I picked those exact people?

Answer: Because they enjoyed something; something I've never been able to

I'll admit I did take a certain amount of pleasure in taking away anything Mumsey loved, liked or enjoyed but I didn't pick my victims with that in mind. But she's not right though - I don't care what she thinks, I just didn't like them is all.

6. Once Mumsey threw me across a room and I broke something. What did I break?

Answer: My arm

This was the first time I really got to see Mumsey for who she really is, and I respected her for it. No masks, no pretend, just her anger and hate towards me.

7. I took something of Celia's with me when I went to prison, do you remember what?

Answer: Her prosthetic eye

I've given it back to Mumsey now, as a gift.

8. Before I came here I had a special way to dress. How did I dress?

Answer: In clothes too small

I used to wear clothes way too small for me. Mumsey said it made me look uncomfortable, but then she thought: 'he IS uncomfortable'. And maybe she was right. Maybe she IS right. Maybe I am uncomfortable in this world, maybe I'm uncomfortable in this body. Maybe, maybe not, who knows?

9. Once Mumsey asked me why I killed off Dad and Celia but not her. Do you remember what reason I gave her?

Answer: One shouldn't kill his audience

I'll say this out loud only this once: the only audience I ever really wanted was my mother. When I climbed the boxes in the kitchen to reach for my squirt gun; when I sprayed her precious maps in her study with paint; when I ate an entire chicken before heading out for dinner with her; when I shot Dad, Celia and those people at school: it was all for her. I wanted her to see me, I wanted her to feel something for me and it's easier to make someone hate you than it is to make them love you, you know? Whatever, maybe I just wanted to punish her; after all, I'm angry, I've always been angry.

Answer: 7

I was hoping for less but somehow I was trialed harder. Whatever.
