Truth or Dare, Which is False?

I don't really know the answer but I think that 18 months might be a little yhoung to get glasses. So I guess #1 is false.

I'm going to guess #1 too.

I am going to guess #4

I'm gonna guess #01

.

#1 is false, I'm guessing.

guessing #3...

#4 is my guess as well.

I'm going to guess #5, I think all the rest are possible and probably so is 5 if you live on a ranch or farm, so just a guess here.

Gosh... I have no freakin' idea.... hmmmmmm.... I'm going to say #2 -- for why I dunno...

Some of you are right......I will respond before I retire to my boudoir for the evening!!! :-))
Thanks for commenting.

I have no way of even guessing if one is false, so here's five that are all true:

1. I got my first glasses in the 10th grade, when I realized finally that for the past 10 years I wasn't seeing the blackboard as well as other kids.

2. I walked at 8 months, and was reading at 3 years, both thanks to my mother (I was tricked into walking solo with round wooden ctothespins, when I thought I was holding onto her two forefingers, and It also worked on MY son).

3. I got my first drivers license in 1961, at 16, and promptly had 5 major wrecks that year. In the fall of the same year, in military high school, I was turned on to marijuana, and haven't had an automobile accident ever since.

4. Only once have I skied in my life, on a mile-long driveway covered with ice, among a zillion kids on sleds. I made it all the way to the end without mishap, but never again.

5. Sure do wish I had 3 horses, or even 1!

Alison, I think #5. I know my sister got glasses at a very young age and not being able to see might affect walking.

Gerald--I'm so glad you survived your first year of driving.

Kate and Elsie are right--it's #5.

I am a late bloomer in many ways. I had amblyopia, strabismus, far-sightedness and astigmatism as a little kid. Even in the fifties they could prescribe glasses for me at that age, though I don't understand how. Once the ground didn't look so far away I finally got the confidence to walk.

I learned to drive when I was 17 but was completely terrified of speed and couldn't deal with the "moving fields." Maybe if my family had skiied and I could have played video games, speed wouldn't have been an issue for me? A few years ago I realized I had a phobia--tachyphobia, fear of speed. I am better with it now, but will only ski SLOWLY and prefer not to drive in big cities or busy superhighways unless I absolutely have to. And then it's a white-knuckle experience! I learned how to ski when our little kids learned how. My husband has been very patient with me and taught me to drive with our first baby in the back seat, and gave me my first skiing lessons.

I don't have any horses. I don't WANT any horses, though I loved them as a kid, still enjoy observing them, guess that's why #5 popped into my mind.

Thanks for your guesses and comments, and I wonder if Gerald wants to post these facts about himself as his own article? Or shall I post?

I'm going with three . Thirty is too long to wait to get out there in the world of wheels, but if it's true, I'm sure you had your reasons.

That was my guess but late

I lived in Lansing, MI until we moved to Washington. Public transportation was easily available and friends didn't mind giving me rides sometimes. I lived a block from my workplace!

Too late but nice to know you better.

i would have guessed #1 - sorry for being late! ~j

Glad I'm a little late, cause now I know the answer.:} Very interesting!

Glad to learn the truth. How are your eyes now?

My glasses prescriptions are going to start looking like the bottoms of Coke bottles pretty soon (!), but I see well. As I get older my eyes get more sensitive to sunlight and glare, which is probably normal. I have always had double vision despite eye exercises and surgery, but it only bothers me when I am tired, and then driving is really difficult. The brain kind of compensates.

Good job Allison! I answered you on mine if you would like to read it.....t

I guessed wrong and forgot to come back and check which one was false. Thank you for all of your recent kind comments.

I'm going to say #1.
By the way, Wilma loves to be tagged. If she doesn't get tagged daily, she starts crushing ants. Save the ants and tag Wilma.

#5 and thanks for your comment on my window,,,,,

This is such a fun post.
