Two truths and a lie

Post Reply New Topic

smudge = 1.

1. My brother repeated a year of school when he was 11.

2. My mother was the Valedictorian of her graduating class.

3. My father got the whip at school, for being left-handed.

#1 is your lie, Isabella.

1. I ran one marathon at 8 minutes, 48 seconds per mile.

2. I finished the 1998 New York City Marathon.

3. I ran the marathon in under 4 hours twice.

Nope. 1 is true.

3 is your lie.

Nope,#2 is. I finished in 1995, 1996, and 1997. I failed to finish in 1998 because I feared a bathroom catastrophe.

Is #2 your lie?

2 is indeed my lie. I don't believe my mother even graduated, because her mother had a high-risk pregnancy that year. She actually flatlined on the table and was legally dead for a brief time. My mother quit school at 16 to care for her mother and her baby sister.

My brother repeated a year. My dad was caned, and even had his left hand tied behind his back for correction. He was told he would go to hell for being a leftie. Apparently it was the sign of the devil.

1. I have a Zoom OT today.

2. My dog freaks out and climbs on me if I sneeze.

3. I have a hot date tomorrow.

#3. Your hot date will be soon, though.

1. I only had air-conditioning a few times in my home as a child.

2. Very few cars were air-conditioned in the NYC subway during the 1970s.

3. I only started singing opera in the subways after I turned 18.

Right. I actually need to write all day.

My dog does freak out if I sneeze. He thinks I'm in danger. I have to stifle my sneezes when he's asleep or he'll be awake and on guard for the next hour.

1 for you.

It’s #3. I started singing opera in the subways around age 16-17.

We rarely had air-conditioning. There was no air-conditioning when I left my mother’s house in 1981. I didn’t get consistent air-conditioning in my home until the late 90s.


1. My parakeet was named Oscar.

2. He lived only three years.

3. He never learned to “talk.”

I assumed you had no AC at all ^.

2

My budgie was named Oliver Twist.

Correct. Oscar lived six years.

What color was Oliver Twist? Oscar was green and yellow.


1. My first car was a Hyundai.

2. I once had a Honda Civic.

3. My present car is a Hyundai.

2

My first budgie was blue, and just named Budgie. Oliver was my second one when I was a teenager. Strangely I can't remember what colour he was. I want to say green and yellow, but I know I likely would have chosen blue in the pet shop. My visual memory isn't very strong.

I bought Oliver on impulse and got in big trouble from my parents because we had a cat. Oliver had a stroke and my dad took him to the vet with me to put him to sleep.

Yep. I did have a Honda Accord once, though.

Poor Oliver!


1. I used to be afraid of dogs.

2. I once had a beautiful lady white Calico cat.

3. She actually wasn’t much of a lady.

2

Is there such a thing as a "white Calico" ?

1. My female cousin was a pro golfer.

2. Her female cousin ^ is a highly ranked tennis player.

3. My other female cousin is a lawyer in Los Angeles.

My Kitty “Whitie” was mostly white with Calico markings. She was very much a lady. So the Lie is #3.

Tootsie.....on the other hand....


1. Tootsie gave birth to four kittens.

2. Floyd was the father.

3. Floyd was a good dad.

It's rare for cats to be good fathers. My first kitten was a stray my father rescued because the father cat was trying to kill the whole litter.

But I bet Floyd was a good dad to three kittens.

Floyd totally ignored the kittens. And he continued to pursue Tootsie even when she was pregnant.


1. Zum Zum was a white Persian.

2. She was a very eccentric cat, and couldn’t be shown, despite her pedigree.

3. She had the “common touch,” despite her official name being Lady Zum Grey.
