My #steemsugar sister @meanmommy33 announced this AMAZING challenge in our general chat, and I thought that it would be a fun exercise for people to get to know me, and vice versa. The challenge was invented by our #steemsugar sister @traciyork, please check out her original posting of the challenge here.
Basically, how it works is, I will state 11 facts about me. One will be a lie, and it's up to you to decide which one it is!
π 10 FACTS, 1 LIE! π
1) A few years back, I was almost mugged by a gang of street children with knives, and was heroically saved by a complete stranger.
2) I only passed my driver's license test two years ago, despite being a few months shy of 30.
3) When I was eight, I won a competition for the most books read in one year.
4) I have two pet cats at home, and another two adopted strays that live at my shop.
5) My home language is Afrikaans.
6) When I was in preschool, I won a beauty pageant; "Little Miss Apple Blossom."
7) I once cut my foot open really severely on a piece of mirror, and bled all over the place. I did not even cry. I did however cry when I saw the huge needle that I had to receive an injection from.
8) I started a Psychology degree at university, but did not ever complete it.
9) A few years ago, I had my own restaurant.
10) One of my cats fell out of the fifth floor window of my apartment building, and is still alive today.
11) I lived as an au pair in Germany after leaving school
@traciyork's rules for the challenge:
- Post 10 facts and 1 lie about yourself
- Have people guess which is the lie. One guess per person
- Offer some sort of prize
- Reveal the answer only after payout
- Use the tag #tenfactsonelie
- Tag your friends to do their own!
So I tag @battleaxe @ameliabartlett @velmthrift @dwarfche @nicknightshade
I will announce the winner in ONE WEEK from now.
I'll go with number 9! Even though its highly possible. Maybe you had a restaurant and just because you adore cats, you took them to the restaurant and... food inspection found them! Bam, they closed you.
Still my guess is #9.
Yours faithfully, Sveto.
Hahahaha I love your reasoning! πππ»ππ»ππ»

First of all the post is very nice and interesting .
With the my point of view the number 10) is lie.
Answers + winners are up here - thank you for playing xxx ππ
I think 4
Answers + winners are up here - thank you for playing xxx ππ
My guess is no 7
Answers + winners are up here - thank you for playing xxx ππ
YAY! So glad you're doing this too! Nicely done. * hugs *
My guess is 5, because it's the simplest one of them all. And maybe it's because I don't know you very well (and I'm wicked overthinking this - LOL), but saying you stayed in Germany for a time after school makes me think that while you live there now, maybe SA isn't your birth place.
I was just scrolling down to see if anyone else came up with 5, which was what I chose - and mostly for the same reasons. Although I hadn't thought about the possibility that she wasn't from South Africa in the first place.
Fun contest.

Thank you for suggesting this awesome contest xxx

You're welcome ! Can't wait to see my results too, soon ^^
Checked them already ;)))
This is really hard...
The longer and more complicated the item, the more likely it is to be true... So, that comes down to the restaurant (which is crazy enough to be true) and Afrikaans. Everyone knows that people speak Afrikaans in South Africa, but not everyone speaks it - many only speak English with a distinct South African accent (I have a lovely friend here in Wyoming who is from your country.) Despite the fact I feel there is Dutch blood in you, it doesn't mean you speak that language...
So, I'm going with 5. You did not grow up speaking Afrikaans.
Fun contest anyway.
Β
I wish I were wealthy enough to offer a similar contest, but I'm going to have to start doing a lot better first!
Your beauty is not the reason why you don't know how to do some Martial Arts. I think you can do some Muay Thai and Karate. So, I choose #1 is a big LIE! π
hehehe! Hilarious reasoning!
