True Lies

This week’s Monday Listicles is 9 Made-Up Facts and 1 True Fact. So let’s give it a shot.

    1) I have three sisters, none of whom live in the same state.

    2) I love to see the sunrise.

    3) I have traveled to every state except Maine.

    4) When I was in the third grade, I wanted to be a trapeze artist.

    5) I have never attended the Olympics.

    6) I transferred to another high school after vandalizing the football clubhouse.

    7) I took guitar lessons for six years.

    8) I sang second tenor in two church choirs.

    9) I have never been to a professional baseball game.

    10) In seventh grade, I beat the world’s record for solving a Rubik’s Cube.

So, which one is true? The first person to guess correctly gets to be smug all day long!

    1. Nope! Although several of these are wrong in the details. In this case, I have been to every state except Alaska.

    1. Nope! I have been to Dodger Stadium and Yankee Stadium, as well as a few minor-league games!

    1. I’ve been to the Montreal Olympics and the L.A. Olympics (the ones in 1984; much too young for the earlier L.A. Olympics!).

    1. Definitely not #2. I deeply resent the sun getting to sleep in later than I do, which it does most days.

      Yes, I know how sunlight works.

    1. No, although when we had to decorate it for game day, I did create a poster so violent that even the football team thought it was a little much.

    1. I’ve been to 49 states, but one of those is in fact Maine. I still need to get to Alaska.

      1. Sorry, I meant #4! (Trying to respond while in the car with a toddler is not easy. Good thing I wasn’t driving!)

        1. No, yes, and yes! Which is to say, I wanted to be a bricklayer, not a trapeze artist, and yes, I know what you mean, and yes, it was!

    1. I don’t think anyone else picked #7, but it’s not correct. I took guitar lessons, but only for about six weeks.

    1. And yet I am totally a second tenor. Apparently I have the vocal cords of a much taller man.

    1. You’re right on both counts–Alaska is the state I haven’t been to, and I’m a second tenor!
