Borrowed from White Trash Mom:
Take the following quiz, and tally your results below.
1. Does someone in your household regularly emit an audible sigh when you answer the age-old question, "What's for dinner?"
2. Does the ketchup bottle spend more time on your kitchen table than in the refrigerator?
3. Do you feel compelled to own stock in Hidden Valley Ranch?
4. Does the Tyson family send you a Christmas card each and every year?
5. Do you regularly find yourself saying, "I am not a restaurant. I am a mother. Deal with it."
6. Do the folks at the McDonald's drive-thru lane greet you by name and ask if you'd like the usual?
7. When your family is dining out at a restaurant where the kids' menu is more than $3.99 per child, do you still have a kid who insists on ordering chicken nuggets EVERY SINGLE TIME?
If you answered yes to question #7, is it cause for a major meltdown if "said restaurant" doesn't serve "said nuggets"?
8. Have you been known to disguise various ingredients within a recipe just to trick a family member into eating what you are serving?
9. Is it a cardinal sin for pasta to have any type of sauce on it - EVER? Only butter and, if you're lucky, Parmesan?
Scoring:
All No's - Go back to Wonderland, Alice. Your life is too perfect. I hate you, and I can't deal with you.
One or Two Yes's - You are only minimally challenged by a picky eater, but it's not interfering with your day-to-day eating habits. Consider yourself lucky, and order in some sushi.
Three to Five Yes's - Some problems exist, but there is still hope. Continue to strive for dinnertime diversity, and you may just come out of this.
Six to Eight Yes's - Get help now. You are heading down a dark and dangerous path. Even drinking may not help you now.
Nine or More Yes's - There is no hope for you. You are one of us. Come to the next meeting of PEA. . . Picky Eater's Awareness. You'll never recover, but there is support. Lean on us. We're there for you.

Now, I'm in the three to five category with:
1. Either MyLuc or I ask this question and if we haven't planned on anything you totally *sigh* cuz then you have to rack your brain to figure out what you're going to be making.
2. Ketchup...mmmmm...MyLuc only uses his with fries. Everything else can have some bbq sauce. Now I don't use ketchup as much as I used to but....it did at one time spend more time on the table then the refrigerator.
3. Not exactly Hidden Valley but Ranch nonetheless. That's it...MyLucs favourite. I use Ranch only as a dip for chips n' veggies.
6. The Mickey D's in Trail...they knew my name and what I liked. Could be cuz we went to the same school but who knows.
8. MyLuc keeps telling me he is going to put lamb in something. Ground lamb or lamb pieces. I just don't like the taste of lamb....it hasn't happend yet but it's gonna cause all kinds of trouble.
