Weekend Assignment #111: Two Out of Three :
Weekend Assignment: Present three "facts" about yourself: Two of the facts true, and one of the facts false. Let people guess which "fact" is the fake one. Reveal the fake fact on Monday. You don't want to give away the fake fact too early, so be sure to make it sound plausible, next to the other two real facts.
Extra Credit: Can you lie with a straight face? Really?
Okay, here goes...
1. I married the same man twice, within 3 months. One ceremony was done by a retired judge in my mother's livingroom, the 2nd was in a church. This is what you sometimes have to do when you marry someone who is here on a Visa only; green card came later. Note: Green cards are blue, not green.
2. Once, as a teenager, I jumped into a bull ring and tested my skills with a baby bull. I know, this sounds crazy, but I jumped in with a bunch of girls. We were trying to get some boy's attention. It seemed like a good idea at the time. (It's a Portuguese thing---it happens when you consume too much Pepsi and linguica). The bull was loose, and he butted me right in the behind with his little horns. I flew in the air, and couldn't sit down for hours. And no....I the guy I trying to impress didn't even see it. May be that was a good thing.
3. I "met" my dead grandfather one afternoon at work. He tipped his hat to me, and danced around the room. Nope, of course I actually didn't see him. I have a friend who is a medium.
Extra Credit: No, I can't lie with a straight face...not if I know you well. You can tell, because I usually start giggling, or I won't make eye contact. Idon't do it too often. I can't even lie to phone solicitors sometimes.

While I wouldn't trade on of my kids for a linguica pizza, I would take a moment deciding.
I'm going with #2. My daughter is going to marry the same guy twice next month, not because of legal status, but because there are certain members of his family that can't be in the same room with other members. And #3 can't be untrue because then it would be too easy (see how I overthink things?) If #3 is true, you'll have to tell us about it on Monday.

I'm going with number 3. The first two seem plausible but I could be wrong.
I think #1 is a lie.
I am going with #2 and I hope 3 is real because I can't wait to hear the details!
be well,
Dawn
Hey, Julie ..... Wow, this is a tough one. I'm gonna guess number one. Not sure why ... I just am ! lol Tina
#3 has to be your lie. Good job, and I'm sure your butt was *very* sore for a day or two.
