People actually care what i have to say. Shocking!

There going to be a test. Which of the following statements did i speak about or say during Easter dinner at Liz parents house?
Wellington
Quasi-War
My turtles running away during summer camp
running around naked while i was a child in the backyard.
My dad theory that the only wars that British fight in are wars to make sure they have adequate supply of liquor
How i was called Dapper Patrick by bob the mailroom guy.
How three people in my family each have three cats. So total, we have 9 cats in the family


The answer is: All of them and people actually cared about what i had to say. Really people paid attention. It was utterly remarkable. In fact i spoke about 15 minutes about Wellington and the quasi war. We had beef Wellington as a dish and of course you have to speak about the great man himself. There was actually a debate about the Napoleonic war. Mind you half the table didn't care especially the person next to me but the other half actually contributed in. People also asked for my opinion on current events. They paused with what they were saying and listen to what i had to say. This has never happened to me. Normally if you don't just butt in with your point you will never get it heard.
