The Dangerous Dinner Party Box Of Questions

You know when you come up with a brilliant idea? Well, I just have.

One of the toys I brought back from the U.S. for my kids was a tiny little box of cards called (appropriately enough) The Tiny Family Dinner Box Of Questions. It includes fascinating questions to start family discussions, such as "Who at this table is most likely to borrow something and forget to give it back?" and "Describe a perfect weekend?" (which isn't technically a question, but is still a good conversation starter).

Now, you can, of course, get boxes of Dinner Party Questions for adult dinner parties, but these tend to be of the wholesome, stimulating-but-non-provoking variety - which, as we all know, is another word for 'boring'.

So I have come up with my own Dinner Party Questions, called (appropriately enough) The Dangerous Dinner Party Box Of Questions.

Feel free to add suggestions of your own.
