Two truths and a lie

Post Reply New Topic

I'm thinking #2. She might be homeschooled----but she just might not be pansexual

(then again, there are sophisticated 12-year-olds around).


1. When I was 14, I went out with a 12-year-old who was 6 feet tall.

2. My fiancée's sister lived with a 30-year-old man when she was 13.

3. Both of my best friends when I was 16 were 2-3 years younger than me----but were both over 6 feet tall when they were 13.

1 and 2 are true, although I just realized the 12 year old is probably 13 now.

3 is my lie.

I sincerely hope 2 is your lie, unless the 30 year old man was her relative of some degree.

#1 is the lie. I did go out with a girl 5 foot 11 when I was 15, though. I was shy back then. She broke up with me because I didn't "initiate" anything LOL

Her sister did live with a 30-year-old man. She "grew up" too quickly. She took her own life about two weeks after my fiancée took her own life.

1. Apart from my brother, I only have one remaining biological relative on my father's side of the family. He is a cousin. His two siblings were adopted.

2. My mother's side of the family is massive because she had many siblings. I have so many relatives (cousins and second cousins), I don't even know them all and have no idea what some of them look like.

3. My father's sister died very young, after my (biological) cousin was born. My uncle was left to raise all three children.

I'll give this a shot even though unlike you guys I don't know anything about you!

Because you said "She's actually still alive" about your relative and a bunch of RIP , I have to assume that you unfortunately have had to deal with a lot of death in family, so I think #1 is true.

I think #3 could also be true and it describes the same family as #1, but that unfortunately means that family has had an unbelievably rough life (condolences if true).

I think #2 is a lie (even though it's the only positive one ), primarily because you seem very knowledgeable about all your cousins, and there's no way you'd know nothing about them!

My life has been short and uninteresting so it's tough to come up with any interesting statements.

1. I spent 5+ years of my life becoming one of the best in the world at something extremely competitive yet useless.
2. I got beat up and regularly bullied in high school for my autistic behavior.
3. I read books like War and Peace in Russian original while also listening to class lectures.

I admire your deductive thinking, isloth, and you are more than welcome to join our game!

#1 is true. I do have (just) one bio cousin on my paternal side. Unfortunately, he has the type of wife who prefers that he only associate with her family. Although he doesn't live very far away, I've just seen him twice in nine years (both times were at funerals). It's sad because he and my brother used to be best friends.

#2 is true. My mother had many siblings who each had many children, in various parts of the world. That means I have cousins everywhere! Most of them went on to have many children themselves (I don't know if my cousins' children are referred to as cousins or second cousins or something else, but I call them all cousins except for one set whom I call niece and nephew (e.g., my trangendered nephew).

#3 is my lie. My father's older sister passed away in 2014, many years after my father died. My aunt lived to be 80 and raised three children with her husband (two adopted and one bio, from #1).

Yes, there was a lot of death on both sides, although I still have some aunts and oodles of cousins on my mother's side.

I will go read yours, now!

I would say it’s #2 for isloth. He sounds like one of those all-around genius types.

In 1970, at age 9:

1. I weighed 111 pounds in the winter, but went down to about 70 pounds by the end of the summer.

2. I had a brief “affair” with an 8-year-old girl, who was the younger sister of my brother’s girlfriend. We kissed under the swings—more like pecks, though.

3. I stole a Penthouse magazine from a stationery store. The staff never even saw me.

I think 1 is your lie. You lost weight later on.

*I'm super busy for a while. Will play later!*

Nope. The answer is #3.

I didn’t steal anything at all when I was 9.

I lost lots of weight in summer camp that year.

I hope your “busy-ness” is productive, and gives you pleasure.

You were right about me kraftie, it was #2, although I'm like you in that my IQ is all verbal (at least I think you said that), I'm not that good in other categories. I will try again:

1. My dad once accidentally elbowed me in the eye playing basketball, splitting it open. I had to get surgery.
2. Once thought I'd be cool as a kid and try goalkeeping vs. high school guys. Ball broke my finger.
3. Playing tennis doubles, partner accidentally threw his racket at me. I got a black eye.

I think 1 for isloth. He split your eye open?

I would say #1 is mostly true—except for the surgery part.

Yes, my verbal intelligence is rated as much better than my “practical” intelligence.

My executive function is pathetic. I'm surprised I made it through primary school.

1. I was upset on the first day of Kindergarten because I wanted to have homework. I knew that "big kids" like my brother had homework so I pestered my teacher for an assignment. She looked perplexed but found a picture of an ice cream cone that I could colour at home. I wasn't impressed.

2. When I was a senior in high school in LA we had an entire year to prepare a presentation on any topic of our choice. I was nervous to choose a topic because I was very worried that my topic would appear "dumb" to the other students, no matter what I chose. I delayed making a choice until the last minute, and then realized there were no reference materials available for what I wanted to present. I wrote something entirely off topic the night before my presentation and was so nervous that I had to present it privately to my teacher and only a few classmates.

3. When I was nine we were asked to write a scary story for creative writing. I had a really scary pop-up book about a haunted house, so I copied the entire text by hand and submitted it with my name. My teacher (somehow?) knew I had plagiarized and I was scolded in front of the class. I didn't know that we weren't allowed to copy other people's stories, because she hadn't said so! I had never heard of plagiarism at that point

I sense #3 is your lie. You were a prodigious child. You probably knew what plagiarism was. You could have done even better than that pop-up story—and you knew it. You made a wonderful presentation that day.
