Liar! Liar!

I'm glad so many of you had fun with my game! Here are the answers revealed:

I had braces twice. TRUE; I had braces in third grade, then again in high school.

I've never had a cavity. FALSE; although, I never had a single cavity growing up, I've had a few since I got married.

I wore my retainer in college. TRUE; as embarrassing as this is, I actually wore my retainer in my freshman student ID picture. (What was I thinking?)
I have never been to Mexico. TRUE; I'd like to visit someday, maybe.

I won a trip to Disneyland. TRUE; my dad and I used to participate in the Dad and Me Fun Run at Kenmore Park. The first year we ran, my name was drawn for the grand prize.

I went to the Caribbean for my honeymoon. TRUE; St. John's, USVA.

{What a nincompoop I am! I just realized all three answers from travel are true! Whoops! I may be a grammar snob, but I'm not much one for editing, am I? Sorry! I'll just throw that section out of the game, shall I?}

I have never colored my hair. TRUE; I've never needed to, until recently. Now my natural blond needs a little oomph, but I just haven't done it yet.

I have never permed my hair. FALSE; oh, do I have some disaster stories to tell...

I have never plucked my eyebrows. TRUE; they're so blond, I've never needed to. That, and until recently I've always had bangs to cover them up.
I have taught English. TRUE; have I mentioned I'm a grammar snob?

I have taught music. FALSE; while I myself have played the piano since I was 6, I have never actually taught music.

I have taught science. TRUE; I was actually hired as a Physics teacher where I used to work.
I have taken singing lessons. FALSE; I love to sing, but I've never taken lessons.

I have taken piano lessons. TRUE; oh, boy, have I ever! From age 6 to age 18, with only one little break...

I have taken guitar lessons. TRUE; for one summer, my parents finally allowed me to take a break from the piano to take guitar lessons. That was it, and it never happened again.

Well, there you have it! Ginormous mistake aside, did you have fun finding out the answers? No? You just want to know the winner? Okay, okay. I understand. You've been waiting over a week for this. I'll get on with it.

And the winner is...

Holy Cow, people! Could you make this any more difficult for me? Four of you tied. FOUR!

So, we need a tie-breaker.

I've contacted the four ladies and let them know they're up for my prize. The first two of them who answer this one last question correctly will win. Okay? Here we go:

I gave birth to all three of my children in the same hospital.

I had epsiotomies with all three of my children.

My mother and my mother-in-law were both present, in the room, at the births of all three of my children.

Okay! Have fun! (again...)

(Such a nincompoop I am!)

  5. Hmm.. This one is tough!

    I think the false one is "I gave birth to all three of my children in the same hospital."
