The Moment of Truth

DRUM ROLL PLEASE

DRUMROLL GIF SIMPSONS

Here are the answers that you have all been waiting for……how well have you guessed my truths and my lies?!  Here is a hint.   ZERO people got them all right!  And that includes 2 of my close relatives.

#1.  b) The lie was that my confirmation name was Elizabeth.  It is Augusta.   I DID have an imaginary friend named Deenie.  It was hard to come up with a spelling of her name as I didn’t know how to spell when she was my friend.  I am scared of thunder and lightening.  Yes.  Yes I am.

#2  English IS my first language.  So a) is the lie.  I am learning the kichwa language and I do drop the f bomb too frequently.  I’m working on that, though.  For real.

#3 c) is the lie.  I am 5’1 1/2″ but I round up to 5’2″.  I sing tenor……I can’t hit the alto high notes at all.  I have trouble hitting the tenor high notes, too, hence I probably am a baritone.  I stand with the men in the choir. Oh and I love broccoli.

#4 c) is the lie.  I do have 4 children, I did read GoT in less than 3 days so was very sleep-deprived.  Guinea pig, called cuy in kichwa and Spanish, is a delicacy in Ecuador. Also referred to as the Andean rabbit.  I have eaten it on a few occasions.  I do NOT like to see the head.  Nor do I like to see the head of fish when I eat fish, for that matter.  Cuy is good and tastes a little like chicken (no it doesn’t but people always say that about wild animals, right?)

#5 b) Unfortunately I have never been a contestant on Wheel of Fortune, which doesn’t stop me from screaming the answers at the TV.  I was going to join the Air Force after college and regret not having done so, but then I wouldn’t have my kids so good decision not to go.  And I play those 3 instruments, but none very well.

So how did you do?  A bunch of you just missed one or two.  For others, “Hi, my name is Barb and I’m an alcoholic.”  Oh oops.  Wrong post.  But some of you got most a lot wrong.

I hope you had fun!  I had a blast writing it, reading your answers, and completing them on other people’s blogs, as well.  Just make a 2 truths/1 lie post like this if you want to.  I couldn’t nominate everyone that I would have liked to, so just write one and have fun.

Thanks, guys!

  1. Eeks! I missed all that and only to find out you have revealed the answers. Looks like a fun game though, Barb. It’s enlightening to know that you have an imaginary friend called Deenie! 😀

    By my count I think I got 2 out of 5 right. I’ll take it. I kinda cheated on the Wheel of Fortune one because I saw your daughter didn’t pick it as a lie and thought it HAD to be true. Nope…

  3. This was a lot of fun–even though I did so badly! I’ll have my “answer key” up shortly.

    It was fun to find out the real answers! I have to admit, the guinea pig answer surprised me, but that’s because I didn’t think about what you may have eaten when traveling to a foreign country. They’re not found too often on the menu in the USA!

      Oh but I ate them here. I teach English as a New Language, and most of my students are Latino, and most of those are Ecuadorian. So families bring cuy to school dinners and serve them at parties. I didn’t expect most people to know that. It was my tricky one 😉

        Oh, sorry, I missed that! Still, you’re in a position to try new foods. I’m not sure if I would have been brave enough to eat guinea pig, but then, in terms of food, I’m pretty wimpy.

        I’m fairly brave about food, but I grew up with an Irish grandmother who would give us sardine and peanut butter sandwiches. Which still seem normal to me. You eat what you grow up eating. So I don’t mind trying things from other cultures. EXCEPT I had squid once and YUCK.
