Two Truths and a Lie

ER

1. I've been the only person awake in the house since about 8:15 tonight, so I sat and read The Order of the Phoenix while evening came on outside.

2. There are five birthdays in four days in my extended family during the last week of May, four of them on the same day.

3. I have a phobia about taking a bubble bath, since it creeps me out not to be able to see through the water.
What does not kill me makes me stranger.

2, but only because you're changing/fudging the numbers.

I'll do another one.

1. I called both my dad and my former stepdad last Sunday and wished them a Happy Father's Day and NEITHER of them corrected me.
2. When I was a younger my mother used to babysit for extra money.  We once had this toddler named Adam who would sleep with his feet and face in the mattress and sticking in the air like a pyramid. 
3. I had trouble sitting through The Blair Witch Project because certain scenes gave me motion sickness.

Three is the lie. Therefore one and two are not. (See what I did there? I used deduction.)

Ooooh.. you're right!  How did you know?

I'm told some people DID have that problems, luckily I wasn't one of them.

No, two was true, believe it or not. The tribute to the devil was number three. I don't get freaked by baths, just by scrubbing the tub afterward.

Ha, I figured while that did affect some viewers, a movie pro like you made it through.

1.  I was once paid $1200 for a single arrowhead.
2.  My mom got stopped by the Secret Service while going to hear President Ford speak because she had a banana in her purse.
3.  I have sampled possum stew and found it too greasy for my taste.

I'm almost betting that 1 is the lie. You are more about the hunt and the thrill of finding them yourself.
I feel more like I do now than I did a while ago.

Generally that is true of me, but about 12 years ago when my kids were young, I sold a number of my best finds to pay for medical bills.  One of them was a white Scottsbluff point that fetched $1200.  So #1 is true.

Ah, I misread the first one. I thought you said you paid that much for one. My mistake.
