FIVE TRUTHS, ONE LIE: A GAME


NaBloPoMo14DayTwentyBecause November is a long month when one has committed to creating a post a day, I was excited when it was suggested in my “NaBloPoMo support group” (yes, there’s a support group for everything nowadays!) that we play a game today called FIVE TRUTHS, ONE LIE, the premise of which is to list six “facts” about ourselves — one of which is a lie.

It sounded fun. It sounded easy enough; I’ve been known now and again to play fast and loose with the truth. (Who hasn’t?) It was, in fact, more difficult than I had expected it to be. (Isn’t that always the way?). But, yeah, it was fun.

If you want to join in the game, leave your “facts” in the comments section or direct me to your blog. While it wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be, there weren’t any difficult equations involved or anything like that. And, yeah, it was kind of fun. Play along, why don’t you? (My fib will be revealed tomorrow!)


FIVE TRUTHS, ONE LIE

1. I have never had a massage.
2. I purchase my underwear (and socks!) in the supermarket.
3. I have read “War and Peace”.
4. I am almost never late.
5. My dream job? Music historian.
6. I do not have a tattoo.

What’s your guess? Which one is the lie?

      LOL! My daughter would whole-heartedly disagree with you there 🙂 But, that’s okay, our children are not meant to think us “cool”. They are supposed to fear our iron-fisted rule! (As if.)

    This is not easy! In fact I have re-read them several times and am still feeling stumped. I like Mary’s approach. But that one would fail me. OK…I am going with my first thought. The lie is #1. or is it #6. ? You see? Alrighty then… I’ll stay with #1.
