Ohhhhhh. (Groan!)

I actually thought of an answer that is kind of creative but maybe you would accept it.
Leah was pregnant with a son and it was switched to a girl because she didn't want that Rochel should have less sons than the maidservants. So he was a son that never existed.

Some questions I thought of, and some I got from a book.
It's easy to come up with questions because you just think of any random fact and turn it into a question. The hard part is figuring out what you're thinking.
(Full disclosure: I'm the one that always makes up the chidon questions in my school.)

Yes. Nevuchadnetzer.
Someone else was raised by animals. Two brothers. ????? (Though I'm not entirely sure that this has a Jewish source.)
