Let’s play a little game today.
List out two truths and a lie. Let’s see if we know each other well enough to guess correctly. Here are mine:
1. I have a sister who makes wine in France.
2. My mother is an artist.
3. My brother almost qualified for the Olympics.

1. I’m a kiwi.
2. I once spotted a high Kanye West in Amsterdam.
3. Â I have a personal chef.
I willll suck at this.
#1 is definitely true…..and I’m guessing #2 is too?
#3! You don’t have a brother!
Mine:
-Lisa Loeb once bought me coffee.
-I’m terrified of the ocean.
-I can name 22 types of saws off the top of my head.
#2 is the lie, I’ve gotten too many emails from you while you were at the ocean to believe you’re terrified of it.
-Â I hate peanut butter.
– I hate talking on the phone.
– I once worked as a bartender in a bowling alley.
#1 is your lie. Because PB is AWESOME!!! (unless you’re allergic.)
Totally #1 for Selena and #2 for POM.
1. I once ate lunch with Allen Ginsberg.
2. I met Kurt Vonnegut on the street in Massachusetts.
3. I kissed one of the Mighty Mighty Bosstones.
I’m going to guess #1 for Sally because two people have already guessed #2, so I figure I’ll switch it up.
Here are mine:
1) I have been inside the Red Wing’s locker room.
2) I have eaten lunch with Sam Raimi.
3) I have never ridden (driven?) a motorcycle.
It was number 3! I don’t have a brother. :) I’m going to guess Number 3 since it just seems to simple? Though I’ve never ridden a motorcycle, so it could be true. I know you’re from the Detroit area, so it’s possible you’ve been in the Red Wing’s locker room. Number 2 could be a toss-up. But I’m guessing number 3.
It was 3. I have the CY endorsement on my licence, but haven’t ridden in years. I’d probably need a refresher class if I ever got a bike. And I am really awful at lying.
ETA: I was in the Red Wings locker room on the best Take Your Kid to Work Day in my life when my mother worked in “The Joe” in ’97. Sadly the Wings were not in there with me.
I love this game! I play it with my students at the beginning of every year.
1. I’ve been to Italy.
2. I’ve been to Peru.
3. I’ve been to Japan.
Oh, this one is tough. I’m going to guess number 1 simply because a lot of people go to Italy, so maybe you’re the one traveling to Peru and Japan!
Nope. I’ve actually been to Italy three times (once in high school with Latin club, once in college while studying abroad in England, and once last spring with my brother). I’ve also been to France, Germany, and Peru. Japan is the lie.
I’m so, so lucky in the parental-money-having-and-making-me-get-a-job-all-the-time department so I can save up my personal money for travel and not have to worry about paying off (much) college debt or other bills.
Anyone want to go to Brazil for the 2014 World Cup?
1) I eat the ghost peppers that I grow.
2) I carve my own rubber stamps.
3) I have had sex on both sides of the equator.
I’m going to guess that you’re lying about #3, Sally. Just cuz. It’s a seriously random guess.
Can all of these be true? Because those are all equally rad…
I’m gonna go with 1. I’m a total spice whimp, so I tend to assume the same of others.
You guessed right! I don’t have a brother. :)
I guess number 1, but they all sound rad.
Awwww. Thanks y’all. #1 is the lie. I totally can’t do spicy foods. I have no idea why I’m growing ‘the hottest pepper in the world’ other than to give them away.
That is still a lot of awesome!
I’m with Dormouse, I’m going for #2, based purely on the fact of ease about lying to/about parents compared to siblings. Ahem.
1. I’ve ridden the Queen’s ponies several times.
2. Our cat has all his legs.
3. I’ve read the Twilight Saga more than once.
I’m gonna say you’re lying about #2. Because 3 legged kitties need lots of love.
I’m with you on this one.
Yes! And our three-legged wonder gets lots of love!
I’m going to guess #2 is your lie, Sally. :)
1. My high school practiced drills for terrorist attacks.
2. I swam with wild dolphins off the southwest coast of Zanzibar.
3. My favorite alcoholic beverage is absinthe.
Hmn. I’m going for #3.
Correct! I do like absinthe, but rum is my favorite. Yarrr!
Awesome!
#3 is my lie! My mother is an artist and has her graduate degree in studio art. I don’t have a brother!
Aww…guessing fail! But cool about your mom! :)
