Mary, who has dominated at all things Trivia had the lowest score at toy trivia. 7 out of 20. Me thinks Mary's parents made her sit home and study while the rest of us were outside hitting ourselves in the heads with clackers and riding our bikes without helmets.

Maria had a decent showing with 9 out of 20. I guess she never took a lawn jart to the head.

Joe and Janna tied for first place with 11 out of 20. Woot woot!! Way to go. Janna, I did not expect "dildo" to come up in toy trivia. It gave me a good laugh and it will be interesting to see the toy chest at your house when you have kids!
