Now That We Know What You Look Like, Let's Learn More! UPDATE:ANSWERS

I volunteer at an Assisted Living Retirement Facility and I do game night every Thursday night. I get so tired of word games and am constantly trying to find something new to play that gets met with some response other than, "This is so Stupid!" Recently, 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 love to sing Karaoke and once won a Karaoke contest singing Eye of the Tiger.

2.) In the last few years, I have seen Beyonce, Usher/Trey Songz, Michael Buble, Sugarland, and Brad Paisley in concert and my absolute favorite is Michael Buble.

3.) I do not drink any alcohol.

4.) I played competitive co-ed volleyball for years.

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 :)

Well, I learned some facts today. We have some inpatient people on DK..LOL. I won't mention any names.. OK, here is my lie. Go ahead and give your answer too. If anyone wants to tally up who had the most correct answers, I will post that too. If no one volunteers, I will do it later today.

My lie is #1. I have a terrible singing voice and once when I was singing to the American Idol game on the Wii (I think), my SIL and DD said it sounded like an animal was dying. They made Simon seem kind.

I have been to all those concerts and did play volleyball.

My husband said the reason I don't drink is because he has to drink, in order to survive me :) No reason..not against drinking, etc. I just don't like the taste. I hate tea, coffee, most juices, and Kool Aid type drinks too. I did like that almost everyone thought I was a drunk. Please don't kick me out of Yappy Hour because my drink of choice is Root BEER.

Do I get to tell now? (because I'm going to!)

1 - totally true. I can only assume that everyone who was actually a good flautist was sick that day. It was fleeting, but it happened.

2 - Sadly, I have indeed dated 4 different men named Steve. Also true - now when someone named "Steve" asks me out, I don't go. It's "fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me"... (and the third and the fourth...and I dated one of the Steves twice, so I was REALLY slow learning that lesson!)

3 - 100% true. George Bush spoke at my high school, and the honor roll students got to meet him, Dan Quayle spoke at my shul (he was shockingly handsome) and I got to meet him, and my dad's company guarded Al Gore's booth at BBQ Fest every year, so U would get to hang out with him there (not that he would know me from a hole in the ground). Didn't meet Cheney, but my dad looks so much like him that people stop him in airports and stuff (dad was NOT amused when I told him that he was lucky that no one had spit on him...dad's an ardent, knee-jerky right-winger).

4 - this was the lie. I got my ears pierced when I was 12, as part of my bat mitzvah present.
