ANOTHER GAME BROUGHT BACK FROM THE VAULT!! TELL US YOUR SECRETS!!!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

We played this game before with good response. I thought I would bring it back since we have so many new members here on DK and give us another opportunity to learn some fun facts about each other.

 

I used to volunteer at an Assisted Living Retirement Facility and I did game night every Thursday night. I got so tired of word games and was constantly trying to find something new to play that got met with some response other than, "This is so Stupid!"  A while ago, I tried a new game. I asked each resident to write down four things about themselves. Three of the things must be the truth and one should be a lie. It was our job to then guess the lie. Unfortunately, I am dealing with the very elderly and was getting responses like: 1) I am a woman 2) I have gray hair 3) I am wearing a blue shirt 4) I went to the moon...so the answer was pretty obvious, but in a few rare cases we learned some interesting facts.

So, here is the challenge. Write four interesting facts about yourself. Three must be the truth and one is a lie. The rest of us will try to guess the lie! Let's see who is the best guesser on DK!  Here are mine:

1.) I had a grandfather named August and his wife (my grandmother) was named Mae. They named their first little girl April.

2.) I hate coffee, tea, juice, Kool-aid, all diet drinks, and alcohol.

3.) My first car was a 1963 red Ford Falcon.

4.) I love Christmas and put up six Christmas trees.

 

and if I wanted to be really tricky, I could add another comment just to confuse you....is she kidding or is she telling the truth?? I'll never tell :)

5.) Donna of Donna K & Quincy is my arch nemesis here on DK.

 

P.S. Hold off on giving any answers until people are done guessing. I will post an update and then we can all tell which is the lie. This is hard :)

I will go with you!!!

1)I have seen Bon Jovi in concert.

2)I have seen Bruce Springsteen in concert at the Stone Pony.

3)I have seen Aida in Italy with a real elephant.

4)I saw The Allman Brothers and nearly got stoned on fumes generated by the fans.

# 1 is the lie

[Anna and Achilles]

F. is it number one or are you holding out for more guesses?

[F, Calla & Luca]

No it is not #1. I had never been to a rock concert at the time and decided I needed to go. Gian's stadium. Not a great experience.

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

I think #2 is the lie.

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

This one is tough. I want to say #4 is the lie, but that description of the fumes sounds too real.

[F, Calla & Luca]

Ready for answers?

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

I'm sticking with 4.

[F, Calla & Luca]

I did see Bon Jovi, cured me of mega rock concerts. I was at the baths of Caracalla over 40 years ago. My pictures were flash shots of the heads in front of me. So here are some others.

And my son and I saw the Allman Brothers. Did I know I wouldn't see a thing because all the young folks stand up and smoke various substances? No, luckily I didn't become to overcome to drive home : ) Poor Bruce, I hope his career hasn't been affected by my absence.

Truth or Lie.  I drove Greg Allman and his son in my cab.  The son needed to go buy diapers for his baby.
