I've decided to describe to you a typical afternoon here at my house. Enjoy!
I hung up the phone with a smile. I had succeeded once again in making my friend laugh by bloviating about the struggles my not-so-awesome character traits put me through. I sneaked back to my room and grabbed two (never one) candies from my Valentine stash near the head of my bed and made my way to the couch to read a book.
I got so caught up in the story, I didn't notice that my blade-like fingernail had made its way to the helpless zit on my chin. (I know, gross! And you'd think I'd be fuliguline enough not to have them anymore, but I do!)
Distracted by my kids, I looked at my oldest with a book in her lap and couldn't help thinking about how much I've cherished reading since I was her age. She noticed me watching and ran to my side. I touched my nose with my tongue, which made her fall over in a fit of laughter, and we snuggled close like two rabbits until our giggles were gone.

I may have revealed something about me that isn't exactly true, can you guess what it is?
I think you lied about the blemishes on your face. It's probably flawless. And that was great fun to read. I'm still trying to figure mine out!
ReplyDeleteI think we all know that you lied about how many pieces of candy you snagged. Two would never be enough, I'm thinking a handful (cause that's what I'd do).
ReplyDeleteI love these! I'm so sad I missed the requirements and signing up but maybe next time!
I agree with Jen on this one. Might of been a handful of candies, lol. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing the fingernails aren't blade-like. Short instead?
ReplyDeleteI think you lied about your fingernails.
ReplyDeleteI think you made up the nails (unless they are fake).
ReplyDeleteDoesn't matter though because it's a fun read.
It's so much fun to read all of your guesses! I'm excited, and a teensy bit embarrassed, to reveal the truth :) Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteHmmm... Do you make it a habit of sharpening your fingernails into a blade? Although, my husband actually did that when he was younger to fend off his older brother's teasing. Maybe it isn't that uncommon... :)
ReplyDeleteI think the lie is about the fingernails.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you approached the challenge!
Your face looks too perfect in your pic. I think the blemish is the lie.
ReplyDeleteGood job with the first challenge. :)
I think the two candies is a lie. You can never just have two! 4 or 5 is more like it. Or a handful. :P
ReplyDeleteFun entry! I'm going to guess that your fingernails aren't that long.
ReplyDeleteI love it! Great story. I think the sharp fingernails is the a lie, unless you're like Edward scissorhands. Ha! If you are, that's okay. I love that guy.
ReplyDeleteI think it is the love of reading since you were young. I thought you didn't like to read when you were younger.
ReplyDeleteOoh, yes, Mary makes a good point.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking that it was going to be that you could touch your nose with your tongue.
Mary also happens to be my sister. Silly sister :)
ReplyDeleteThis really is a lot of fun. I should lie more often and try to have people try to find it. Haha.
Thanks for all your comments! I'll let you know the truth soon :)
I'm going to go with this line as the lie: "And you'd think I'd be fuliguline enough not to have them anymore, but I do" because I'm not sure what being ducklike has to do with blemishes ;)
ReplyDeleteHmm, I didn't know until just now...when I googled the word, that it meant anything duck-like. Seriously, when I read the word for the first time, I went to dictionary.com and they didn't have any matches. I should've known better...but for the sake of the story, I'll admit I didn't know it was duck-like anything. Nice call though :)
ReplyDeleteHello fellow crusader! I am a tad bit late, the whole house has been sick all week. So, I just thought I would pop in and just say Hi! :D
ReplyDeleteSo, like I already saw your fib reveal...since the link went directly to your blog...so guessing now would be like, cheating! :D
Sorry about that LadyJai. I accidentally put my main link on the crusade list. The correct one is on there later, but they couldn't delete the first. Glad to have you here though :)
ReplyDeleteSo I will guess too that your lie is your bladelike fingernails. Everyone has a zit or two (even if they don't admit it) but nails that are blade-like? Mine are saw-like because they are so cracked and broken that they have sharp razor-like edges in some places- but yours are blade-like? hmmmm...
ReplyDeleteI;m guessing you grabbed more than one candy:) Sorry it has taken me so long to get to you.
