Four lies and a truth

Somebody tagged me, can't remember who.

Somebody tagged me, this is what I have to do:

You know the drill-- post in the comments which one of the following scenarios you think is true. I'll post results on the 15th.

#1 I went to the U2 Zooropa concert at Giants Stadium in the summer of 1992. I was 17. My parents let me and three girlfriends drive from Connecticut to New Jersey all by ourselves. If they had known the things we would see at the concert they would have been wise to reconsider their decision.

#2 Very few people know this, but when Eddie was on his mission I kissed someone else. Yeah, I know, I know, you all think I was the most faithful girlfriend ever. And I was, except for this one time that I went on a date with a friend from my French class and he wanted to speak French in more ways than one. I sort of liked him, but the whole thing freaked me out too much and I spent the rest of the semester avoiding him.

#3 All of our kids have been conceived in places other than our bed. Bryce on a trip to Southern Utah (get it?), Annie on a belated anniversary weekend at the Ritz-Carlton in St. Louis, and Isaac in an unmentionable place in our home in Minnesota.

#4 The first time Eddie kissed me was on Labor Day 1993 while on a hike with his student ward in Rock Canyon. We had only met a couple of days earlier and hadn't been on a date yet, so I was a little bit surprised and taken aback by the whole experience (but in a good way).

#5 As a teenager, I was only called into the bishop's office to make a confession one time.

Coming home from youth conference we in the girls car started playing "can you top this" with the boys in the next car. When Dwayne showed us his boxer-covered butt, my only way to top that was to show a full moon. The bishop heard about it and called me to repentance. At least I didn't goose them.

And if your name starts with the letter "L" (Linsey, Les and Lei), consider yourself tagged.
