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

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

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.

Well shoot, it looks like I missed all the fun. Just finished working 3 very busy 12hr day shifts and having house guests at the same time. Looks like I have a lot of reading to do.

 

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Donna, I might do it again on a slow week. I thought we had a lot of fun. Lots of good liars on DK :)

1.) I live in a small town in Ohio.

2.) In my spare time, I am a "Farmville addict"

3.) I married my childhood sweetheart and we have been married 36 years.

4.) I am a party girl and go out every weekend. 

 

Ok, time to fess up!  #4 is the lie! I know I tricked some of you with the small town in Ohio, when you looked at my profile, but the profile is a "little white fib"!   I actually live in a small town north of Dayton.  I didn't put it down because I didn't think anyone would know where it was and we live in the suburbs of Dayton.   ;-)

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Yeah, I guessed one correctly!!

[Anna and Achilles]

got that one right!!

[Nancy, Ned, Clancy, and Charlie]

Laurie, I sing so badly that once when I was singing with kindergartners one of the students raised her hand and said they sang the same song in daycare, but it had a different tune!!!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Out of the mouths of babes..LOL...We should do Karaoke together.

[Nancy, Ned, Clancy, and Charlie]

Laurie, we could clear a room!  When I was in 4th grade the choir teacher told me only to mouth the words - that is pretty bad, but true.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

LOL...I was the only girl in grade school who did not make choir and I was HAPPY! Some voices are just not appreciated...like mine and yours.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

I have to say I am really impressed with the women of DK. I learned a lot about each of you. Maybe on a slow week, we will do it again. This was fun!!

[Nancy, Ned, Clancy, and Charlie]

THE TRUTH

1. I was the mascot in high school.
2. I was a swimmer in high school and taught all my children to be competitive swimmers.
3. I once took an art class and was 'invited' to quit.
4. I do not know how to cook.

Number 4 not the lie. I do not know how to cook.  I never learned because my dh does all of the cooking. Yes, I can make salads or heat something up but I do not 'cook 'and create anything in the kitchen.

Number 2 is the lie. Even though I am a native Southern Californian, we do not all swim like fish. My husband was a surfer, skier etc and taught our children to love the water and they did all swim competitively, and the boys played water polo. I was just the mom on the sidelines cheering them on

[Anna and Achilles]

wrong again!
