Stupid Question

So the latest issue of Parents included a quiz to determine if you have an attitude. Meaning, you tend to unreasonably lash out at your husband or child. (Have any of these editors experienced sleep deprivation?)
It included three questions, starting with this one:
When your husband, who’s sitting on the couch reading the newspaper while you’re making dinner, asks you to bring him a drink, do you:
A Say sarcastically, “Have you lost the use of your legs?”
B Bring him the drink and angrily shove it in front of the newspaper.
C Nicely say, “Sorry, I’m in the middle of dinner here.”
First of all, what is this -- the 1950s? Should I take a pipe and slippers to DH, too? What the hell…The least I would ask him in this unlikely -- and almost comical -- scenario is whether he lost use of his legs.
I would also add an option D: “Roll up newspaper and hit him on head with it.”
