As time wore on did she think much about the beloved parents she had left behind her ? This is a difficult question , because it is quite impossible to say how time does wear on in the Neverland , where it is calculated by moons and suns , and there are ever so many more of them than on the mainland . But I am afraid that Wendy did not really worry about her father and mother ; she was absolutely confident that they would always keep the window open for her to fly back by , and this gave her complete ease of mind . What did disturb her at times was that John remembered his parents vaguely only , as people he had once known , while Michael was quite willing to believe that she was really his mother . These things scared her a little , and nobly anxious to do her duty , she tried to fix the old life in their minds by setting them examination papers on it , as like as possible to the ones she used to do at school . The other boys thought this awfully interesting , and insisted on joining , and they made slates for themselves , and sat round the table , writing and thinking hard about the questions she had written on another slate and passed round . They were the most ordinary questions -- ` What was the colour of Mother 's eyes ? Which was taller , Father or Mother ? Was Mother blonde or brunette ? Answer all three questions if possible . ' ' -LRB- A -RRB- Write an essay of not less than 40 words on How I spent my last Holidays , or The Caracters of Father and Mother compared . Only one of these to be attempted . ' Or ' -LRB- 1 -RRB- Describe Mother 's laugh ; -LRB- 2 -RRB- Describe Father 's laugh ; -LRB- 3 -RRB- Describe Mother 's Party Dress ; -LRB- 4 -RRB- Describe the Kennel and its Inmate . ' They were just everyday questions like these , and when you could not answer them you were told to make a cross ; and it was really dreadful what a number of crosses even John made . Of course the only boy who replied to every question was Slightly , and no one could have been more hopeful of coming out first , but his answers were perfectly ridiculous , and he really came out last : a melancholy thing . Peter did not compete . For one thing he despised all mothers except Wendy , and for another he was the only boy on the island who could neither write nor spell ; not the smallest word . He was above all that sort of thing . By the way , the questions were all written in the past tense . What was the colour of Mother 's eyes , and so on .
