Two truths and a lie used to be big with my friends. You say three "facts" about you or things you've done or seen. People try to pick one out as a lie, and then it's their turn to do the same thing. For example:

1. I've been crocodile wrestling.
2. I once flunked a vocabulary test because I forgot to put my name on the top.
3. I crashed a dune buggy when I was twelve and despite totaling the dune buggy, the worst I ended up with was a badly scraped up elbow.

Anyone up and around for a game?

That's what you get for givin' up your strategy, fille.

[whatsupcroc]

I will try much harder next time, if I feel it needs to be a secret!

1. If it'll still be fun guessing and wondering.
2. And maybe it'll drive some people as crazy as it does me wanting to really know what's what!
3. You've got to trust as some point people will be honest, or they'll lie. And when it matters most they do one over the other, they'll make the better decision!

Prob'ly giving 'em too much credit, with that last one.

[whatsupcroc]

Probably! But someone gets to. I've got a couple good people on the pessimistic and realistic side of things already. ;)

So you're stakin' a claim for the optimists? Guess equal representation is important.

[whatsupcroc]

Especially around this place! You get too unbalanced otherwise, and nothing works well when people don't have some way of reaching a middle ground.

[solitaire]

You're pretty wise, fille. Most people wouldn't think 'bout it like that.

[whatsupcroc]

I have my moments! Just don't expect too many of them. ;) I'm usually more teenager that wiseman!

[solitaire]

That's all ta the good, I think. Teenagers should be teenagers.

[whatsupcroc]

When we can! I know I like to be exactly my age when I can get away with it.

[solitaire]

Well, if someone says you can't, refer 'em ta me.

[whatsupcroc]

Hahaha! Okay, Remy, I will! Even if that person's me? (Not likely, but you never know!)

[solitaire]

Even wise teenagers can use some stern talkin' tos from time ta time.

( That ends up provoking her into laughter, something that doesn't come across in text except, perhaps, in her more notable delay. )

Then I leave my potential future lecturing in your capable hands!
