What makes a couple compatible? Do they need to be the similar in their appearance, finishing other sentences and dress alike? Of they have their own set of quirks, that complemented each other?
Anyway, attended one dinner with the family where they had this Most Compatible Couple game for couples, meaning they’re drawing names from a box and the ‘lucky’ couple has to be tested for compatibility by providing the same answers to questions asked in public. Lo and behold, our names were called up as the last couple to complete the group. (I believed it was a setup from the beginning)
Up to the stage I went, with dry throat, sweaty palms and pounding heart. This is a game where it could make or break the couple and wrong answers could be devastating for the husband. The wives got the easy end of the deal, as they just wrote their responses on a piece of paper and us, the husbands are expected to get it right. The husbands are expected to respond to the questions asked to the whole floor.
The questions asked, along with my response and the ‘correct’ answer :
Q : What is your wife’s toothbrush colour ?
Me : Orange
A : Purple
Argghhh…I got it wrong for the first q, and would expect to hear about this all my life.
Me : 13 February 1999
A : 13 February 1999
Ok! that was a life saver. Now onto the next question,
Me : Nasi Lemak Sambal Sotong
A : Char Kuey Teow
Dang, got it wrong again. How embarrassing to answer wrongly in front of the crowd.
Q : Where was your first date?
Me : C*******e
A : C*******e
Whooppee…got that one right again. At least I’m better than some of the husbands. Now the final question :
Me : Sleeping
A : Getting back late from work
Now that all the answers have been given, we were asked to go back to our places while they tally up scores, and surprise, surprise we are voted as the Most Compatible Couple w.r.t. to the others. At least the win have spared me from constant grilling about wrong answers, but I was still not let off by the first question.
So to the love of my life, from now on I will take note of the colour of your toothbrush.
