So, despite my bad attitude, the wedding shower really was a lot of fun. Gather 35 or so women together, feed them cake and wine, and you have a party. The management of the party center even requires that you hire security, usually an off-duty cop, if you serve alcohol. I was kind of hoping he was dressed in his costume, and he was a male stripper, but no such luck.
At every shower I have ever attended, all the guests are asked to participate in a few silly games. The one I found the most interesting was one where the guest had to make three statements about themselves, only two of which are true, and the other guests have to decide which one is the lie. I found out a couple of neat things about my older sister: she once snuck into a Frank Sinatra concert with her boss, and she once got to meet Mick Jagger at a Rolling Stones concert.
I chose not to play, but I did choose three statements about myself : I went to high school with Jim Tressel who is Ohio State's football coach, I slept with a stuffed bunny until I was 11 years old, and I write erotica. That last one made me laugh, but I never would have used it because I didn't want to embarrass the bride-to-be or her mother, and because there were a couple children at the party. I whispered to my youngest sister (she knows I write erotica) my statements and she said, "Oh do it! I'd love the see the look on their faces!" As much as I like to tweak someone's sense of propriety, I really thought discretion was the better part of valor.
So which one do you think is the fib? And if you like, give me three of yours.
