How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

The Big Reveal

So which one was the lie?

Pool hopping! Although if I had been one of those kids that was more scared of my friends then my Dad, this one would be true too. Yes, there were lots of young teens in my neighbourhood who went from house to house hopping in and out of pools on those steamy summer nights. I was WAY to “square” to join in.

I did meet Mr. David Letterman! So much fun. I was pulled out of the Audience to play the Know Your Current Events Game. He was supposed to talk to 3 or 4 people from the crowd that night, but ended up poking fun (I prefer to think of it as flirting) at me for the majority of the time allotted for the segment. I left with some great great prizes. When I got back home to Ontario I had made the nightly news and the local papers. LOL

That last story, helping deceive my sisters family. Sadly true. My Mom can cook a killer Turkey yet somehow neither of her daughters were passed on this blessed skill. We sure do great take-out! To this day none of her in-laws know how she pulled off such a great Thanksgiving dinner.

Thanks for playing!

    3. You know, my mother would say ‘practise makes perfect’! Which would mean me cooking every year.

      I’d bow out gracefully now before you get roped in again…..30 dinners!!!!! Well done! x

    6. So funny. I love the Thanksgiving dinner story. Sounds like something my friends and I would do. FYI…we did do the pool hopping.

    7. I was wrong too.. so cool that you were on Letterman… and so funny that you ‘helped’ your sister with that feast! LOL!

    10. Yeah!!! Do I win a prize????
      Very cute post…great idea, you should post this one as a regular segment. I thought of doing it also before, but I would have a hard time making stuff up…you didn’t!!
