Kymber’s Get to Know You #55 (Special Edition!)

Hello everyone! I hope you are enjoying your week so far! Today, I’m participating in Kymber’s Get to Know You #55, Special Edition: two truths and a lie!

*rubs palms together* I love this version, Kymber! Thanks as always for hosting!

The idea is to tell two truths about yourself, and then one lie. Then you guys get to guess which one is the lie! Muahahah!

Ok, ok. I’ll calm down now. 😆

So, without further ado (and anymore yammering on my end), here are my two truths and one lie:

1. I used to attend a school for performing arts. I had to sing an audition to get in.

I practiced my audition for weeks! 🎤 🎶 (with extra fingers, too!) 😄

2. Bennett is actually my middle name.

Thank you, Kevin for your help with this one! ❤️

3. I once won first place in a poetry contest at the college I attended for nursing school. 

My nursing school uniform was those ugly ass eggplant-colored uniforms. Blah!

And now, it’s up to you!

Which two are truth, and which one is the lie?

Can’t wait to see your guesses! Not to mention, what your truths and lies are, haha. And thank you as always to Kymber! 😀

In my next post, I have a bit of good news to share with you! I’m so excited! 😁

    • I agree with MM. The name “Bennett” is derived from the Latin “Benedictus,” meaning “blessed”. I think your real middle name might be something a tad more mischievous.

    • Thank you, MM! Bennett is in fact my middle name, chosen by my grandfather (his and my grandmother’s surname). My actual last name is a very Ashkenazi (ends in -berg, LOL) I decided to write with my middle name as my surname to honor my grandmother. And the good news is your vote counted! I won Author of the Month! Have a post going up shortly! 🤗 thank you, again! ❤️

    • Haha! Good guess, Maggie! I can see why a lot of people picked that. My audition song was “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” LOL – it was in junior high school so maybe that’s why it seems so far removed. ❤️ the lie is I won first place in a poetry contest, I won third. Blahhh lol! 😆 Thank you for playing! 🤗 🥰

  10. Whoa, all plausible, as far as I know. I’ve scanned my mind and can’t remember anything about singing, though, so that’s the one I’ll pick. 🙂 You’d obviously make a gorgeous Cabaret singer, though.

    • You know now that you mention it, I don’t talk about it much. It seems like it’s so far removed. I was just telling Kymber how she would be pleased to know my audition song was “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” LOL – this was in junior high, I had to sing to get into a performing arts magnet program. Didn’t finish the program though (long story!) lol 😆 the lie is that I won first place in a poetry contest in college – I won third 🤣 and awww 🥰 thank you! ❤️ maybe I should do more singing haha 🎤 🎶

      • I feel like maybe a looooong time ago there may have been something you said in an off-handed way? Not sure at all, but you made the three choices so plausible that I’m not that embarrassed to get it wrong. 😀

      • You know maybe I did, it’s an entire years worth of writing at least but it really has been such a long time! Have you ever looked back on a post and been like “wow I don’t remember writing this” ?! 🤣 😆

      • Just tried to send you a comment on your latest post…not sure if it went through, it shows you have 4 comments now so if they’re all from me I’m sorry! 😬 maybe went to spam? Just incase, I’m going to add it here:
        “Elizabeth is my sister’s name, and my grandmother’s middle ❤️ always loved that name – Beth is definitely a cute form 😀 I like it for you🙏
        So so sorry to hear about middle child’s partner 😢 and then oldest having a hard time 😔 and of course you with your hands *sends loving vibes!* when it hits the fan, man.
        Hopefully get some good rest and have some deep dreams ❤️ wind down into a peaceful sleep 😴 “

      • It’s my fault! I realized after posting that I should turn comments off, just in case I am offline tomorrow and Sunday. You must have gotten caught right as I was changing it, Sorry. :/

        Thanks so much for your kind words. It was a long day and I feel squishy and sensitive. Pretty sure I’ll be asleep as soon as I turn off the light. ❤

        Nice that you have some Elizabeth's in your life. It's a strong protective name, I think.

      • Thanks. I rested well that night, thankfully. Although under hard circumstances, it’s been amazing for middle child to meet all the family at once and feel very at home. ❤

  15. Number one is a lie… I haven’t read any post of you showing interest in singing, but the other truths are quite clear.. I think I’ve Laura Bennett before on your blog. I intuitively think it’s yours. I hope my mind isn’t lying to me, lol.. anyways, this is an interesting challenge.

    • You’re right there with everyone else! I haven’t mentioned singing very much, you’re right! It feels like maybe a lifetime ago! Yes, Bennett is in fact my middle name and the one I’ve chosen to write under – you’re right! 😀 The lie is the fact that I won first place in a poetry contest – I won third lolol. Thanks for playing!

  16. Your poetry is excellent, so I’m ruling out #3… hmm… no idea if you can sing, but using your middle name as a pseudonym sounds legit. So I’m going with #1 and I hope you’re not an awesome singer 😂🎤 🎶

    • Hahah awww thank you, Darryl! That means a lot coming from you! 🤣 The fib is actually number 3 – I won 3rd place in that poetry contest, not first! Good guess! A lot of people guessed one along with you! ✨ 🫶

  27. My friend, this is a tricky one! 🤔 But I’m going to take a wild guess:
    🎭 Singing audition? Totally believable—I can already hear the high notes!
    📝 Middle name Bennett? Feels suspiciously… truth-y.
    📖 Poetry contest? Hmm… Eggplant uniforms may have been tragic, but did they inspire award-winning verse?

    My guess: The poetry contest is the lie! Unless, of course, it was the singing… or the name… Wait, I’ve overthought this. 😂 Can’t wait to see the reveal!

    • Haha, good guess! 😀 You’ll be pleased to know my audition song was “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” LOL! 😆 It was in middle or junior high school, I had to audition to get into a performing arts magnet program, which I did get in, but didn’t attend the entire time. The lie is the 3rd one – I won third place in a poetry contest in college (instead of first) haha! Great job with this one, Kymber 👏 👏 it was fun seeing everyone’s guesses! 💗 Looking forward to the next!

  35. I have not checked the previous comments, so I do not yet know which one is the lie. I’m guessing number 3 is the lie because those typos on the award ribbons seem like they might be a hint.
