What is Trudy’s role when scary animals are found in her house?
She is the first one to jump on the table and call for help. Since this happened a lot, Trudy can now say she’s an excellent jumper.
Trudy and her family do not believe in scary animals. To them, all animals are to be loved. So whenever they find one, they will make it their pet.
She is the one that has to scare these animals away. Spiders, bats (yup, bats.. really), birds, etc., are all chased out of their house by her. Maybe you can call her if you need scary animals to be chased out of your house.
Whenever she sees one, she runs like hell. Probably explains why she is so fast.
For what vehicle does Trudy have a license for?
A boat
A motor
A truck
A glider (zweefvliegtuig)
Trudy can be a competitive person. Her husband can tell… With what has she beaten him?
She can jump higher than he can. Probably because of all the scary beasts.
She has beaten him in a quarter marathon, by three minutes. Maybe also because of the scary beasts?
They did a bake off and she won, because of ‘best pie’
She has beaten him with cycling.

What’s the deal with Vera? How come..
She has to wash her hands that often? Apparently, even she didn’t know until her roommate told her that. Not aware of her (mild version of?) mysophobia!
She starts singing every time she’s in the bathroom? A study showed that people sing because they’re happy. Maybe there’s a link?
She can run so fast? Maybe because she used to volunteer as neighborhood watch and was chasing criminals all the time? A bit of a Batman Vera.. Bat-Vera!
She can bake these great pies and deserts, which she then give to her colleagues on her birthday? Apparently, she comes from a long line of proud pie bakers from Maasluis.
What’s Vera’s true passion?
Magic. Ever since she has seen David Copperfield on television, the only thing she ever wanted is to make a bunny appear from a hat.
Kizomba. She travels to anywhere just to dance this dance (Paris, Bordeaux, Lisboa).
Beer. Not so much drinking it, but making it. She has a little brewery in her home. It’s illegal so don’t tell anyone.
