Have you heard of the ice breaker "Two Truths and a Lie"? It's one of my favorites, and I always use the same three statements--the only problem is, I've blogged about myself enough that my go-to statments, y'all would already know the answer to (face tattoo, anyone?).
Regardless, me and my three friends Alexa, Lo, and Jena are hosting a one-day Two Truths and a Lie link-up! Here's how it goes:
List three statements. Make sure two are true, and one isn't. No feeling anxious for your lie, 'cuz we told you that you're allowed to--but just this once.
Then post our awesome button (found below). Then underneath the button (or as a first comment, if you'd rather do that), tell us which ones are true statements and which one is the lie (feel free to elaborate as much or as little as you feel is warranted). Easy peasy! Make sure to go visit others' blogs and tell them what you thought was the lie! Now, for mine...
1. In elementary school, I once wrote a "novel" about how I was Emmitt Smith's daughter.
2. I once got trapped on a ride on my stomach for 25 minutes in the California Six Flags.
3. I dislocated my middle finger in junior high because a girl swung a baseball bat too close to me, in a non-swinging area.
Ready for this?
1) Truth. Clearly he was the only "famous" person I had heard of (that wasn't a performer), and clearly I didn't know he was African American. I can't even tan! Oops.
2) Lie. But I was immediately behind the group in line that got stuck (we were in one large group with my undergrad's football team, so I know the people in the photo...I'm not that creepy!). I logged back onto my old Facebook to try to find this. You're welcome:
3) Truth. It grosses people out when I show them, so I usually don't point it out. It doesn't look bad until I show people that it moves unusually. Ask me if we meet in person.
And that's me! Can't wait to read yours! Link up below, or with
Lo,
Alexa, or

As if I needed anymore reason to fear amusement parks! LOL.
Haha love that you wrote that you were Emmit Smith's daughter, that's awesome. And glad you didn't get trapped on that ride
I guessed #2 as a lie...I WAS RIGHT! :)
Oh girl, wait until you read mine...it's eerily similar!
Also umm WHAATTT about your finger, HECKKKK so it's still dislocated? ouchie!
oohhh my gosh! can you please get your hands on your paper about being his daughter? hahaha. I can relate to number 3...my sister did that to me except instead of a finger she connected with my jaw... she loved me. :) Happy Tuesday! Following along from the link up via Alexa! :)
I'm glad it wasn't you stuck on the roller coaster like that! However, at least the people that were stuck were in the loading area and not somewhere in the middle of a loop or something!!
Thanks for making me hate rollercoasters more
I was praying the rollercoaster one was a lie. I went on that stupid ride at the Six Flags near us. I'm not normally scared of rollercoasters, but that one was NO FUN. I didn't even think about getting stuck. Now that I have, I will make sure to never get on it again...not like I was going to anyways...
I'm really glad it wasn't the rollar coaster one...omg...that would be terrifying!
haha I got the third one right - love this link up
Ohh I picked correctly!! I've seen someone get stuck on the Superman ride at the Georgia Six Flags, too. But of course that didn't stop me from riding it right after. haha!
And Emmit Smith's daughter? You maybe should find that write up, and blog about it. haha I fell in love with him on Dancing With the Stars
I MUST read this novel.
those were good! i totally thought #2 was true haha

Hahaha that is hilarious. You could always be his adopted daughter or something
You gotta admit... Sarah Smith does have a good ring to it haha
Whoohoo, I guessed right!!
OMG - getting stuck in that position on a amusement park ride would literally kill me. I'd be SO scared! I hate rides in the first place, so this would be the icing on the cake for me.
Oooh, I have a funky finger too....it got slammed in the hood of a car and now won't straighten. :) Love this idea!!!!
Shoooooooooooot I got it wrong! I guessed #3.
This was such a great idea; I can't wait to hear what people think my lies are!
Yay!!! I was right :)
I really want to do this but I hate this game for the sole reason of it being impossible for me to think of 3 good things. They HAVE to be perfect haha
This was so much fun! I love this game! I totally guessed wrong on yours though!
Thanks for sharing.

I made the mistake of checking your blog on my phone during a morning meeting, and I laughed out loud- full blown SNORT- at number 1. And I am soooo glad it's not a lie!
I think you should share that novel with us, if you still have it ;)
