FUN WRITING PROMPT
My Nose Is Growing
Jumping on the two truths, one lie phenomenon
A shout out to my buddy Rodrigo S-C for tagging me in this fun prompt circulating our Medium feeds lately. I’m always keen to participate when asked, but this one had me on my toes; I really had to do some nose-growing!
Below, you will read three different scenarios. One of them is a lie. Can you spot which one?
You can make your call in the comment section, and in a week’s time, I will reveal the answer.
#1 The things you do for your kids
My daughter and her now partner, Steven, were part of a college fashion show to celebrate the end of the year, and she needed models to strut their handcrafted wares down the catwalk.
They were short one person to showcase a body suit that was all in black, aside from the white stitching that mimicked the lines of a sewing pattern. It included a full facial mask, so I agreed to do it, knowing that no one would know it was me anyway. Plus, remarkably, I could actually fit into the piece…they tend to make things for skinny Mawhinney’s.
There were hundreds of people watching, and it was damned scary — but I did it!
