Fun Mom Facts

Only one of the following is not true. Can you guess which one?

1. I went shopping for my wedding dress with two drag queens

2. I went to finishing/charm school

3. In college I went to get a tattoo, but chickened out

4. As a girl, I had a pet squirrel

5. My first job was helping my grandfather castrate calves when I was 12

6. I am deathly afraid of spiders

7. I hated #2's name for the first week of his life. I like it now

8. I love to iron. There's just something about the smell of spray starch

9. I have a secret dream to be able to play the violin

10. I have given people lessons on making fried chicken because mine is that good

I am going to go with number three. I think you really did get the tattoo.

Logically, #9.

Since it's on the blog, it can't *still* be a secret, and it's phrased in the present-tense.

RD said...

I thought exactly the same Therese. But I will go with No. 8.
You love to iron.
Now if you do, I need to try to begin with falling in love with the smell of starch! Haha.

the Mom said...

Good guesses all, but you are WRONG!

3. I really did chicken out on the tattoo when the girl in front of me (who was getting a spider tattooed on the side of her head) said "Cool, when they do a straight line you can feel it ripping your skin."

9. I still want to play the violin. It was a secret when I wrote it, but I guess it no longer is.

8. I do love to iron! It's the only chore I enjoy, and it is all about the smell of the Faultless Spray Starch for me. Ahhhhhh!

you can come and iron at my house anytime you want mom.

I am also going to put in a second guess for the pet squirrel.

the Mom said...

Thanks, Therese, I may have to take you up on that.

It's the spiders.

And if it's not you're so totally in trouble for laughing at me!!

Peace!

although it could be the dress....

pretty sure it's the spiders

Rachel said...

Wow. I was going to say the squirrel. Guess I was wrong.

Keep me updated, k?

the Mom said...

Peace,
It's not really fair since you know me in real life and know that I am not at all afraid of spiders. You on the other hand.....

I know, but I'm not telling. That would be cheating.
