Hmmm… do I have any juicy secrets?? Ummm…. nope. Sorry. Disappointed? Me too. I use to have a life with secrets, lies, etc… It was no fun. Hard work to keep it straight sometimes. Not something to be proud of kind of stuff.

Okay, well…maybe I’m happy over a few things. For instance, if you ask me to keep a secret, I’m so good at it that not only will I not tell anyone, but if we don’t talk about it either, I’m likely to forget the whole thing within 6 months. Unless it’s reaaalllyyy juicy. So I’m a good ‘confidant’.

Being a good liar. Hmm.. not sure whether to be proud or scared of that. After all, what if it’s a gene I passed on to my kids? I am SSOOO locking them in a room for 20 years once they hit 7 if that’s the case. I figured out real early how to look people straight in the face and tell them what they wanted to hear.

9 year old Ginafish to Mom “Can I ride my bike around the block?”
Mom, “Sure, it’s a beautiful day, go get some exercise”
2 - 3 hours later…Ginafish returns home….
Mom “So you were gone a long time…where did you go?”
Smile at mom, look straight into eyes “Well, it is a pretty day, so I rode around the block 8 times, then rode around the block behind that 5 times, and then rode around both, but I was getting worn out, so it took me awhile I guess. I’m going to my room to read now, I’m kind of tired, is that okay?”
Mom, “okay, I’ll call you when dinner is ready.”

When ACTUALLY…
“Sure, it’s a beautiful day…”
Ginafish rides around block three times. Sees friend playing outside. Stops to talk. Goes inside her house for a snack. Plays Barbies. Goes for another bike ride with friend. Parent of friend gave each kid 50 cents, rides to small grocery store, across a busy (don’t go there) street, buys some candy, eats candy, rides back to friends house, rides around block 2 times real fast to get panting sound in breath before going home. Where I will look my mother in the face and flat out lie. :/

Not so proud…. But then there are also those “white lies” that maybe are something to be proud of.
Ginafish “So you see, it’s not you, it’s me…” (internal dialogue - it SoOOO you)
Ex-boyfriend, “So you want to see other people”
Ginafish, “Well, I think you really need to experience life, and meet new friends.” (I can’t breathe!!)
Ex-boyfriend, “But we’ll still see each other, right?”
Ginafish, “Oh yeah, we’ll always be close.” (now what was your name again??)

See? Good because if they Really knew what was going on in my head.. not so nice.

Now, if YOu have a juicy secret you’d like to share, go ahead. Post it here.
