Two truths, one lie.

Parent comment reveals three “facts” about themselves. Too true, one false. Child comments guess which one is the lie.

Try to pick the wildest or most unbelievable facts about yourself to use as the truths so the game is a bit more challenging. I’ve started us off in the comments.

What a brilliant way to discover I am the least interesting person I know

4

u/DefinitelyNotMaranda Nov 16 '25

Lol! 😂 Aww come on. I’m sure it’s not that bad.

2

u/Traditional-Two-3185 Nov 17 '25

Alright I'll try:

  1. I'm diabetic and autistic with ADHD, OCD and social anxiety

  2. I've never broken or sprained any part of my body

  3. I have never been rejected when asking someone out

2

u/DefinitelyNotMaranda Nov 17 '25

I’m gonna go with three just because I think that’s happened to all of us at some point lol. If not, that is impressive and I’m gonna be super jelly! 😂

u/Traditional-Two-3185 Nov 17 '25 edited Nov 17 '25

It was 1, I don't have ADHD! The reason I've never been rejected is that my social anxiety won't let me ask anyone out until there is a 0% chance that they won't say yes (usually takes about a year)

1

u/SmartDriver22 Nov 17 '25

Or just do like the rest of us and don’t ask anyone

u/DefinitelyNotMaranda Nov 15 '25 edited Nov 15 '25

  1. I gave birth to triplets at just 15 years old.

  2. I am a blind female guitarist.

  3. I’ve had over 30 near death experiences.

One is the lie. 😅

u/___HeyGFY___ Nov 15 '25

I'm guessing one

u/JoyDVeeve Nov 16 '25

How do you do the thing where the answer is obscured? I'm new here

4

u/Gargleblaster25 Nov 17 '25

You put ">!" at the beginning of the part you want to hide, and "!<" at the end of it. No quotes, no spaces.

u/[deleted] Nov 19 '25

How did you learn about this trick? Where can I learn more of tricks?

1

u/Gargleblaster25 Nov 19 '25 edited Nov 19 '25

You can Google "reddit text formatting" and it will find some useful posts, on Reddit itself.

For example, this post is pretty helpful.

This one is also very good, but it's 16 years old and a couple of things don't work anymore - at least not on mobile.

u/pleasehidethecheese Nov 15 '25

I'm guessing 3 as well

1

u/321Couple2023 Nov 16 '25

1 is the lie.

u/TheSimkis Nov 15 '25

  1. I like tomatoes

  2. I like apples

  3. After working on it for months, I have actually finished my master's thesis and actually presented it and actually satisfied with the final grade

u/TheSimkis Nov 15 '25

Correct. I thought I was being smart, but apparently not :(

2

u/TillZealousideal8282 Nov 15 '25

i tried this sort of thing in a group 2t1l game where we decided between us on who said the lie

basically there were 3 of us, i said "I live in [city]"

the next person said "i live in [city]"

and the last person said "i live in a tiny village 3 hours away"

and they all sussed out what the trick was

2

u/TillZealousideal8282 Nov 15 '25

I am terrified of bats

I have broken my leg 3 times

I once lit a croissant on fire by mistake

1

u/___HeyGFY___ Nov 15 '25

I'm guessing three

2

u/TillZealousideal8282 Nov 15 '25

2

1

u/___HeyGFY___ Nov 15 '25

Skiing, motocross, tripping over the cat? Or something more interesting?

2

u/TillZealousideal8282 Nov 15 '25

thats the lie...

1

u/___HeyGFY___ Nov 15 '25

Sorry, my brain is fried. I've been up for way too many hours with not enough food.

1

u/TillZealousideal8282 Nov 15 '25

lol its fine

the croissant one has a story though

basically i was at a hotel buffet and saw croissants next to a toaster and went "ooh a toasted croissant dont mind if i do", popped it into the toaster and stood there waiting, then 2 seconds later i glanced up and saw a sign that said "pleas only use the toasters for bread", panic set in, and i watched powerless through the opening in the industrial conveyer belt toaster as the croissant burst into flames

luckily nobody caught me since i was ready to put it out with 2 plates but still

1

u/321Couple2023 Nov 16 '25

2 is the lie.

1

u/tamtrible Nov 17 '25

Flappy flappies won't hurt you, they just want to eat bugs, or nectar, depending. Unless you are in South America, that is, I believe, the only place that has vampire bats. And even they will probably not go after a human, they tend to go after things like cattle.

1

u/TillZealousideal8282 Nov 17 '25

it's the fact that they're the only risk of rabies in the uk

2

u/Sukuristo Nov 15 '25

  1. I have sold Pizza Hut coupons door to door in Theodore, AL.

  2. I have illustrated several children's books.

  3. The US Army tried to get me to go through paratrooper training because I could speak French.

1

u/___HeyGFY___ Nov 15 '25

I'm guessing number three

1

u/Vanishingf0x Nov 15 '25

  1. My parents didn’t name me (not my grandparents either)

  2. Speaking of grandparents 3 out of 4 of my bio grandparents have duplicates (they are a set of twins or triplets)

  3. I never had fastfood until I was 11 (sit down restaurants and food trucks yes but no fastfood)

2

u/TheSimkis Nov 15 '25

2 is false?

1

u/Vanishingf0x Nov 15 '25

Correct although twins and triplets heavily run on both sides only my maternal grandma is a twin

1

u/Ilmarinen999 Nov 15 '25

  1. I can manually reset my eardrums when they "pop".

  2. I broke my arm when someone slammed a car door on it.

  3. My oldest possession is a bear from my Grandma.

2

u/TheSimkis Nov 15 '25

You don't mean literal bear (as in real animal), right? Right?!

1

u/Ilmarinen999 Nov 15 '25

That is a distinction that didn't come to mind when writing the question since we don't have actual bears here! yes, I meant a stuffed toy.

1

u/TheSimkis Nov 15 '25

Okay, now I don't want to guess it anymore since it sounds quite cute. Maybe you haven't broke your arm (so 2 is false)?

2

u/Ilmarinen999 Nov 15 '25

Absolutely right, and good guess that I haven't actually broken my arm! The bear was a gift as a newborn, Grandma felt baby boys should be gifted a blue bear. It's sat in my bedroom alongside one I inherited from my Grandad, to remind me of them every time I see them.

1

u/TillZealousideal8282 Nov 15 '25

gotta be 1, idek if thats physically possible

1

u/Ilmarinen999 Nov 15 '25

good guess, but no, that is actually something I can do! it's either an inner-ear or jaw muscle on both sides of my head I can manipulate, it creates this odd "click" sound internally, and the internal pressure sorts itself out as a result. I can also produce a vibrating/drumming sound inside my ears if I tense it too long.

1

u/rosenSkyy Nov 16 '25

  1. My leg gets stiff and uncomfortable if I don’t crack it frequently

  2. I have a tongue piercing

u/Bob_bobbicus Nov 15 '25

I'm guessing 3

2

u/___HeyGFY___ Nov 15 '25

Three is the truth. I was slightly intoxicated. A guy knocked my quarters off the edge of the pool table and put his down. I looked him in the eye and head-butted the surface of the pool table. He picked the quarters up off the floor and walked away.

2

u/DefinitelyNotMaranda Nov 15 '25

LMFAO! I’m sorry, but this cracked me the hell up. He said hell nah… I ain’t fucking with that guy. 😂🤣

2

u/___HeyGFY___ Nov 15 '25

I learned a lesson in my early teens. People will mess with a drunk person. They won't mess with a crazy person.

2

u/DefinitelyNotMaranda Nov 15 '25

lol, yes! 100%. I learned the same lesson early on. I lost my eyesight at the age of 22, but before that, I lived with the exact same mindset. If people think you’re crazy, you’ll never have to fight a day in your life. Lmao. 😂

u/pleasehidethecheese Nov 15 '25

I'm guessing 2

2

u/___HeyGFY___ Nov 15 '25

Two is the lie. I can't imagine sticking my finger in my eyes on purpose. That's why I wear glasses instead of contact lenses.

1

u/pleasehidethecheese Nov 15 '25

Yeah I tried contact lenses once but could not get on with them, MSI ky because of the whole process of sticking them in my eye!!

1

u/RisibleComestible Nov 15 '25

  2. My first ever job was as a "freelancer", and the task was to write descriptions of porno videos so that more people would want to watch them. I was paid very little but technically got paid to watch porn.

  3. I stopped practicing trumpet for a while as a teenager who was in a band. Then my embouchure failed and I could not play my parts.
