    2. One of them is 12.

    2. To shelter them from disappointment and failure.
    3. To support and encourage them.

  11. What do I do for my kids on school day mornings?

    2. Make them breakfast.
    3. Read to them.

  13. What did I ask for for Mother's Day?
    1. To have this painting framed.
    2. Books.
    3. Peace and quiet.


Argh. I should have just made this a straight quiz. It was harder than I'd expected to come up with two truths and a lie. But I'm nothing if not stubborn. Answers will show up in the comments shortly.

thanks for the answers. I was just guessing. :)
 
Great idea....
 
Great list, Darla! I'm terrible at the two truths and a lie game. I'm an awful liar, I blush and giggle like an idiot.

I actually have a TT today - 13 things I love about my mom. :)
 
Darla - I stink at finding lie although I knew the answers to some of them. Consider how long we know each other LOL

Great list! I had fun, and I hope you get what you wish for, Mother's Day. Happy BTT!
 
OOOPS! That suppose to say Happy TTs...NOT BTT! *Grin*
 
Awesome two truths and a lie game! I didn't get very many right, though. I hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day!

Happy TT!
 
Peace and quiet sounds good to me too!
 
You always have the coolest TTs, Darla!

I don't have a TT today though.
 
This is an awesome idea for a TT. My kids are too little to grant me peace and quiet for Mother's day. But I don't mind at all. :)
 
I'm glad you posted the answer key. I'd never pass your test otherwise!
 
I'm afraid I didn't have a lot of the answers right. The again I was just guessing. :)
Thanks for visiting my food TT!
 
Very fun! I enjoyed your TT!
 
I stink at two truths and a lie too. Like Caryle, I'm all blushes.

Great TT this week.
 
Hey Darla, I think this is fun! :) Another awesome idea for your TTs!
