I am in two different non-fiction books.
I used to perform in a circus act.
My grandmother was a spy.

Ooh, good ones. I'll vote circus act as the lie.

So can we ask what the books are about?

Sure. One was a case study that then became published, from when I was in middle school and high school. The other was an autobiographical account that a colleague wrote and I am in there quite a bit. I am thankful that both gave me a pseudonym. But I know who all the people are.

[Laura Palmer]

Fascinating!

OMG, I hope #2 is a lie b/c that is one of my biggest fears ever growing up.

Correct! But- I was about 4 and we lived in another state for a year or so for my dad's job. One day a police came to our house asking if we'd seen these two guys in a red convertible (these were the suspects for the kidnapping- which actually happened!). I don't know if I dreamed it or what but I distinctly remember looking out my bedroom window one day and seeing that car. Is 4 years old too young to remember something like that??

Anyway, the girl made it home safely I think.

That is scary. That was my biggest fear too. I remember the missing child photos at the grocery store and getting scared to death.

Eta: what's the tree story?

[adlove]

Future- I was about 11 and my mom went to the grocery store and I decided I was big enough to stay home alone for 30 minutes haha. Apparently the tree was half dead and there was this crazy sudden wind storm and it smashed right though the house. So terrifying!!

Needless to say, it was a little while before I was home alone again ha.

That SUCKS!

Just got a concussion. Though now I need Xanax to get on a plane. I am the person you never want to sit next to, though it would prob be very rare to have been in two so I my husband says I am good luck.

[adlove]

Omg preppy!! Please tell me this was not a big commercial flight or anything.....??!!

[Deleted]

Okay, I'll play

I keep several pet chickens in my suburban back yard
I've been to every state in the US
A big reason we adopted is because I really don't want to be pregnant

It was commercial, a 747 I believe. The landing gear got f-ed up and snapped in when we landed. the plane spun then tipped on it's side and heavily damaged the wing. We were landing after a 12 hour flight so there wasn't much jet fuel so there was a small fire but it could have been worse. Injuries, none serious, and no deaths. Let's just say I am really bad when it comes to landing!

[adlove]

Wow!! That is absolutely terrifying! Glad everyone was ok.

Lie? It's either between this one and the not wanting to be pregnant.

Yep, that was the lie

And, Preppy, that is so crazy about the plane crash - especially since it was a commercial flight!!
