Ten Truth and One Lie - The Reveal

First I want to apologize for not getting back to you. Time flies when you are having fun!!

And we are having a ton of fun over at the Freewrite House @freewritehouse

The Challenge
My so very talented freewriter friend @byn nominated me for this challenge which was initiated by @traciyork. Thank you for starting it!

This is how this challenge worked.

I told you 11 facts about my life. But one was not a fact at all. It was a big fat lie!!!

The Facts - Well, Almost All of Them Are:

1. I am one of five children.

   Yup. I am No. 4 if you want to know.

2. I grew up without a car and without a TV.

   True. I was a teenager by the time my parents got a car. My oldest brother had one before them when he turned 18 - the legal driving age in Germany. I got very car sick (still do if I am not driving) and it was a torture for me to ride in any car. So, it worked out well that we walked wherever we had to go to.

3. I rode my bicycle from San Diego, California to Eugene, Oregon and back again.

   True. And I want to do it again.

4. I studied 4 languages.

   True. But I speak only 2 fluently. One of the languages was Latin and I had 7 years of it in school. I forgot everything beside the phrase in Asterix and Obelix, alea iacta est.

5. I was married many times.

   True, but I don't want to talk about it. If you are worried - the number is less than 10 🤪

6. I had lots of pets when I grew up.

   Big FAT Lie!!!!!!! My mom thought that 5 kids was way more than she could handle without animals in the mix.

7. My English teacher told me that I will never speak English.

   True. I showed him - well, some might still debate if I do speak English 😂

8. I have witnessed birth and death.

   True. I was with both of my parents when they passed. And have had the priviledge of seeing quite a few babies being born besides my own.

9. I have never seen the Grand Canyon.

   True. I need to go ASAP.

10. I have shot a gun.

    True. I am not a good aimer. I did hit a can, but I was aiming at something else. Pssst. Don't tell.

11. I love traveling by train.

    True, true, true!!!! Let's go!! I am due for an adventure.

And the winner is......

Drumroll please!!!

How he guessed it, I don't know. I don't think we talked pets. Did we?
