Editor’s Note: This summer, we’ll be inviting a handful of special guests to contribute a week’s worth of quizzes in the 5pm time slot. Our first such guest is baseball expert/food critic/bookworm Keith Law of ESPN. Make him feel welcome!

I love being a dad. I always thought parents who talked about how wonderful parenthood was were actually filthy liars, covering up the fact that they were miserable from lack of sleep and tired of cleaning runny noses and poopy diapers. Then I became a parent and I can barely fathom how I got through life before my daughter was born. I would try to explain it, but if you haven’t experienced parenthood, I doubt I could do it justice. The runny noses and poopy diapers do suck, though. And the whining, so much the whining…



My daughter has resisted the reading genes she must certainly have inherited from me and my wife, but one book she likes – no doubt because we also have the DVD version – is Eric Carle’s The Very Hungry Caterpillar. I learned to read from Carle’s books, so I can at least find solace among her non-reading habits in the fact that she at least identified with this childhood favorite of mine. The caterpillar chows down between the Sunday when he’s born and the following Sunday on which he eats one nice green leaf (and feels much better). Can you name the 15 foods he consumes from Monday to Saturday?
