Here's the answer to the last round of Two Truths and a Lie. The "LIE" is in bold.
Mary Johnson
1 - When Matt and I were in Aruba we went offroading with a rental SUV and decided to go up a rough, rocky mountain. We got stuck the SUV stuck with all the wheels off the ground and had to push the SUV down off the rock, causing damage to the SVU in the process.
2 - A good friend of mine asked me to be a part of the home birth of her second child. I accepted and it was a crazy but amazing experience.
3 - While horseback riding in the countryside of France my horse sprinted away from the group. I couldn't understand what the French guide was saying to me and couldn't get the horse to stop. The horse weaved through the woods and took me far away from my group.
Nate Thompson
1. I have an "N" shaped scar on my right wrist that I received while trying to lift my old bulldog Sluggo into a bathtub.
2. As a consequence of my increased class hours this semester, I now routinely dream in numbers and variables, with my dreams consisting entirely of me trying to solve some imaginary equation or problems that gave me trouble in my homework that night.
3. I worked at Menards for a while pushing carts, and since I was relatively quiet most people had trouble remembering my name and often confused me with other people. I got tired of correcting them so I just went along with it. Depending on who you ask my name is Luke, Dave, Ryan, Mark, or Nate.
Trish Mueller
1. While in Switzerland a young man enjoyed himself at the village pub a bit too much and fell off his bunk in the middle of the night injuring himself. Some of the other residents called me to his room and with 100 eyes watching, a spelunking light on my head, crouched under the bottom bunk, and without a first aid kit of any type, I improvised and cleaned his many wounds and put his almost totally severed ear back and secured it by wrapping a clean shirt torn into strips around his head like a mummy. The following day we drove him 30 miles up the mountain to the closest physician who sutured the ear back in place, stitched his other open wounds, and set his broken bones.
2. Having one day off a week, yet wanting to see as much of Europe as I possibly could my friend and I rose way before dawn to cross the alps into Italy; destination Milan; goal to see the painting of “The Lord’s Supper” . Arriving at the church we discovered the only showing left with tickets was the last showing of the day. No problem lots to see and do and a great subway system to get us there! Day done and only minutest to spare, we sprinted off the subway into the train station to catch the train home. We were met by a party of several policemen who inspected our subway tickets. Not knowing you did not have to revalidate your subway ticket at every juncture we had macerated ticket stubs. The police decided to make us an example exposing our fraud of using the same ticket over and over (anyway we think that was what it was). Unable to communicate at all I finally comprehended the small sum of 50euro would get us off. Paying up we caught our train aware money is a universal tool/language.
3. The kids and I tagged along with Mark on a business trip to Boston. We saw the sights by day while he worked. (Very scary as I have no sense of direction) Catching a train back to return to the suburban location where we were staying we got on the wrong train. By the time I realized it we were very much in “the country”. We got off at the next stop. Bad move there was no real station, no real town, no taxi, no phone, and I did not have a cell phone. Not knowing what to do we started walking back the way we came along the railroad tracks. Much later a policeman saw us and stopped us telling us we couldn’t walk the tracks and also telling us he couldn’t drive us anywhere. Frantic to get my kids back before dark we disobeyed and got back on the tracks. If he arrested me I would get a phone call! Further down the road he stopped us, let us know he was risking getting in trouble, and drove us all the way back to the hotel.
Kristen Thompson
1. Kristen once boldly interrupted a circus act when the man pulled out a long knife as part of his magic act. She stood up and screamed at him to stop. It ruined his act.
2. Kristen's favorite time of year is the Fall and her favorite fall pastimes are visiting haunted houses, being scared, going to apple orchards, horseback riding, and cooking Pumpkin pies.
3. As a very small child, Kristen, on a long drive to her favorite apple orchard, boldly exclaimed while pointing to a distant field, "Hey, look--that's a Toro chipper vac!" And she was right.
Karen Thompson
1. Karen hooked her husband by pretending to hurt an ankle and having him carry her for a half mile. She felt it was important to test his true feelings by blatantly lying to him.
2. Karen has done all of the following by herself; Maytag repairs, set up our trailer, bought a house, bought a car, put in wood floors, fixed electrical, put in drywall and replaced a sump pump.
3. Karen once drove a Chevy Prism, full of women, over a rocky mountain pass in Utah--meant only for Jeeps. The pass connected 2 mountains, was on a ledge, and was a one way.
Matt Johnson
1) I was on the Department of Homeland Security watch list so when I flew, I had to show my ID at every check-in.
2) I was investigated by the IRS for tax evasion.
3) I had a warrant for my arrest issued in Missouri.
