The Answers

Thanks to those of you who played my game! Here are the answers you've been waiting for. Or not waiting for, as the case may be. I'm going to add a little commentary to make everything clear.

Group A:

1. It's been so rainy here that Kara's gone dark blond. I'm compensating by spraying Sun-In on her hair on the few sunny days we're having. Next step, Toddlers and Tiaras. This is true. Don't judge! I just can't bear to see Kara going dark blond. She's supposed to be my blondy girl forever. Her new highlights are really cute. Now she's asking for a spray tan, but I have to draw the line somewhere. Okay, that last sentence was a lie.

2. When I was little and thought my name was boring, I told people my real name was Amelia and I just went by Amy for short. This is also true. I don't think anyone believed me. I also told my mom I was going to change my name to Jackie when I turned 18. She said I could.

3. I'm so proud of myself! I cleaned all the windows inside and out last week. Now they sparkle with the falling rain. Hmm. Maybe I shouldn't have cleaned the windows. Not true. I have yet to clean the outside of my windows. I have three inside windows left to clean. Now that the sun is actually shining, I might just get them done.

Group B:

1. Kyle and I just celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary by staying in a treehouse suite at this resort. Only in Oregon! Not true. But I am going to take my family to the treehouses sometime when Kate's a little bigger. Looks pretty cool! Kyle and I are celebrating our 13th anniversary this weekend by going to Cirque de Soleil. I am excited!

2. After six pregnancies, my hair has finally settled on the totally impossible texture of fuzzy. How convenient. Unfortunately this one is true. My hair used to be wavier, but now it's just blah. Sigh.

3. I was going to give a pledge to my local classical music radio station until they said "this hour we are taking pledges in memory of a cat. Or from people who love cats." Too bad. So, so true. And hilarious.

Group C:

1. I'm starting to side with Kyle on the whole trampoline issue, although I'm still more in favor of it than against. It's that annoying worrying mother side of me, I guess. True. I 5% agree with him, and I 95% want a trampoline. He has yet to budge from saying 100% no.

2. Marketing works on kids. Kara's been telling me all about some wonderful products -- Angel Soft bath tissue and Resolve floor cleaner. She dutifully informed me that "we don't just want vacuum clean, we want Resolve clean." Also true. Now she's telling me all about the wonderful charms of Sea World, including repeatedly describing the commercial and asking if I'll take her.

3. Lady Gaga is starting to grow on me. Such a lie. Although I hate Katy Perry more than I hate Lady Gaga. I kinda think Katy Perry's producer/songwriter is Satan. Have you heard the lyrics to her new song "Last Friday Night"? I won't post a link because I do not want to be responsible for corrupting you. Heaven help them if my children ever learn this song!

Well, there you have it! No one got all three answers. I guess I'm good at lying. Just kidding! Thanks again for playing along.
