Two truths and a lie

Post Reply New Topic

You wouldn't believe the sordid underbelly of teenaged girl life, Kortie.

1 is your lie. One of your stories resonates considerably with me, but I won't say which.

Yes, my dad was a hero. You have no idea.

#1 is absolutely true. My dad was the only person who tried to understand me. I wish I could have lived with him---but I really couldn't---because he was a "silver fox," who went out with quite a few girls.

The only part of #3 which is a lie----is that I was 17 as well when this happened.

Whacky things in Isabellan ancestry:

1. One of the women had three nipples (and / or breasts, I'm not entirely sure).

2. One of the women hung her children in her cellar, and rang her husband to come help her free them.

3. One of the women kidnapped two of her nieces in the boot of a car and held them for ransom.

4. One of the women put her husband's ashes down the kitchen garbage disposal.

5. One of the women was married three times and all of her (wealthy) husbands died under suspicious circumstances.

I'm sorry to say there's just one lie.
There are no psychiatric problems in these women; seriously -- it's just how life goes.

I hope it's #2....and if it isn't #2, I hope the children survived.

Were these women on ONE side of the family?

In defence of my family

1: is true -- someone had three (it was obviously congenital) PATERNAL

2: is my lie -- this did happen to people my parents knew, but it wasn't in my family. All the children died except the baby.
The woman went to a psychiatric hospital and the father remarried. NOT RELATED

3 and 5:
I realize that 3 and 5 were the same woman and yes, she was a bit of a kook, although never charged with murder.
She only held the nieces for a day or two and didn't hurt them. MATERNAL

4: the garbage disposal thing happened, but I suppose that's not a crime? I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE WHO THIS WAS

LOL....it's just not as kooky as the other four situations.

1. I had a great-aunt who was a piano tuner and teacher.

2. I had a great-aunt who was the first woman to from one end of a lake (I don't know the name of the lake, though it's near Grand Rapids, Michigan) to the other---a distance of about 12 miles.

3. I had a great-aunt who scared lots of people with her noisy séances.

Oh, I like 2 and 3. I hope they're true!

The answer is: #3. My Great-Aunt Dorothea used to conduct séances---but she was quiet about it. She was also the one who swam the 12 miles.

My Great-Aunt Marguerite was the one who was the piano tuner/teacher.

That's so fun! Did you know her?

Sorry to budge in

1 - My neighbors have threatened to poison my dogs.
2 - I lost 86kg (189 pounds).
3 - I witnessed a suicide at 7 years old.

I only remember meeting her once. She was very old and in a nursing home; she might have had dementia. She passed away in the 1980s, in her 90s.

For Loyal, #3 is the Lie.

Oh dear God.
I hope it's 3.

1. I had a great uncle who looked and dressed EXACTLY like Ed Norton of the Honeymooners.

2. I had a great aunt who had a Yiddish accent; whereas my grandmother (her sister) had a Bronx accent.

3. My grandmother was born in the United States.

3.

PS I love The Honeymooners
The Christmas episode with the bowling ball absolutely guts me every year (on DVD).

Nope.

1 - True
2 - Lie, I lost 88kg (194 pounds)
3 - True

A neighbor's kid (14 years old) stood on a flat in front of me 9 floors high, he jumped and dropped in front of me. I saw him struggling for his life until the ambulance came. 6 months later he recovered and did it again. This time he succeeded and he was free.
