The reality is I followed him home from Home Depot and Googled his address!
Yes, he was single!
I may have been a stalker, but I’m not a homewrecker!"
I was the younger sibling.
While the family was out the blanket caught fire and almost burned down the entire house.

“That eating pineapple made my teenage boys' sperm taste better.
They were going through a junk food phase and I was trying to get anything fresh into them.
To this day, we are keeping Dole in business.”
We still do it today.
After 15 years, it would be weird to tell everybody that we just made that up.
Sometimes it gets difficult though.

“How I met my husband.
I was still married to my children’s father.
Things weren’t great, so I buried myself in work.
I had a four-month affair with my boss.
He texted me from a phone number I did not recognize.
I texted him back later but it was the phone of his next-door neighbor.
He was using it so he would not get caught by his wife.
The phone belonged to my now-husband of 15 years.
We tell everyone a meet-cute story about a wrong number gone right.
I will never feel good about how it happened but the results are good.”
“We had a small but close group of friends in high school and college.
As I said, we had a small friend circle.
The lie was it was a one-night drunk hookup.
The truth is, we had a seven-year secret on-and-off relationship we hid from everyone in our group.”
“That I took the GRE.
I applied to a Craigslist ad looking for a barista at an unnamed hotel.
Nine years later I’m the director of food and beverage and make six figures for the same hotel.
Best decision I ever made.”
“I’ve made up all kinds of horrible stories to explain why I’m pulling my hair out.
I lied and said my friend was bullying me, and it got up to the school administrators.
I lied the whole way through.
To this day, I still feel awful about betraying a friend like that.
I still lie about why I’m pulling my hair out if I get caught doing it.
The real reason is that it feels satisfying, and I have no idea why.”

I don’t want to watch it, so it’s easier to just say I have."
“I have my husband convinced I am not ticklish.
I am very ticklish and he would (lovingly) torture me if he found out!”

“I tell everyone I was a pre-med major in college.
The truth is, I dropped out of college after one semester and most definitely wasn’t studying pre-med.
I’ll probably never stop.”
I just wanted some comfy oversized clothes for home."

I must have hit something sharp.
Kids that rollerskate, rollerblade, or anything of the like don’t do that."
The truth is, I purposely skipped a pill one day because I was upset with the baby daddy.
I was young, stupid, and not making great decisions.

“Even as an adult, my height was a big deal to me.
In my 20s, I peaked at 5'9 and 1/2”.
I got tired of adding the half inch so I started saying I was 5'10".
Fast forward four decades when a new doctor’s office wanted to record my height.
I was shocked that I was measured at 5'9" and requested a bone density test.

“My youngest brother thinks I love to play board games.
I’m just in it to make him happy.”
