Can you spot my lie??

So in today's edition of this blog post I am writing 2 truths and 1 lie so tell me if you can find the lie...

When I was a senior in High School my mother, sister, best friend and I took a road trip Scottsdale, Arizona. On our way down we stopped in Las Vegas and while the adults (the over 21 crowd) went gambling, we the kids went to Circus Circus and rode the rides in the amusement park. After a couple of fun filled hours we noticed that a bunch of kids were running over to this really gruff, grizzly looking little man and having him sign random things. Of course, our curiosity was peaked at this point so my little posse made our way over and standing there watching his daughter ride some rides was a haggard looking Robin Williams. I stood in disbelief watching as he signed all sorts of things for the kids and sadly to this day I still don't have a Robin Williams signature. In my disbelief, I was actually never able to go over and get his signature but I did end up with a few great stories from that trip.

When I was in the seventh grade I took my girlfriend to her freshmen year Prom. The theme from that year was A Night with the Stars and it was a night to remember. The date started with my parents driving me up to her parent's house since I wasn't old enough to drive. Then we did the obligatory picture taking and then after all of that was said and done my parents drove us to the dance where did the whole gambit of Prom rituals. Afterwards, her parents picked me up and dropped me off at home.

In High School I took Drama I my Junior year. For some reason I ended up hanging out with and sitting next to the really snooty girls from class so our teacher was always yelling in my general direction, through no fault of my own -- at lease most of the time. Anyways, at the end of the year we had to put on a play for our parents and anyone else that wanted to show up. My class ended up doing about 10 of short stories that we acted out and for some reason I ended up being in 9 out of the 10 in some way, shape or form. Backstage I was running from one end to the other and it was a blast actually and it didn't hurt that we all got rave reviews.

  1. I don't know if this is a trick, but I'm thinking it's got to be the prom story. I find something about it extremely charming anyway. The ordinariness of it!

  2. Well yours is a bit difficult, but I going to go with the first one. It's not because I don't believe it, it is because the other two stories sound like they could have been stolen from my life. I have had very similar experiences to you last two stories which makes me think if its happened to me it could happen to you.
