2.      Who is your favorite green fictional character?

d.      Really?

3.      If you had an Olympic brat team, who would you recruit?

            a. All the athletes

a.      Hot and humid (Two words that meld together)

b.      Demure

c.       Fierce

d.      “I might say something stupid.” Therefore, I refuse to answer.

Disclaimer: The results were an exercise in humor rather than defining your status as a bonified brat.

If your answered mostly “a” then you aren’t fully embracing the brat trend. Those who have marked more “b” answers are trending upward.  Anyone who tallied more “c” responses aligns with brats. Finally, those quiz takers who dominated the page with “d” are embracing a brat attitude.

If you made it to the end of this post, you are the best brat friend I could ask for.
