Truth or Dare?

Did you play "Truth or Dare?" when you were younger...or maybe still play it today?

I will be honest I really hated this game for a long time. I was to nervous to ever pick dare and to embarassed to want to pick truth.

Truth or Dare always gave me anxiety, that is until I played the Chinese version "Truce or Dare". (The Chinese have a hard time saying the "th" sound, it comes out as an "s" sound.)

My friend Jill that I met in China reminded me recently of our adventures playing "Truce or Dare". Wow, we had some really fun times! But let's just be honest...I think I like Chinese "Truce or Dare" so much was because Jill and Terusha generally always picked dare and I LOVED thinking up dares.

In case you haven't EVER met me...I have a slight mischevious side and love to get people to do things. LOVE IT. Some call it manipulation ("Terusha would do it"), I would say it is a gentle push into an adventure.

Thanks for the memories Jill. I am pretty sure you should blog about them.

I personally liked the game "truce and truce"- I was always too chicken to pick dare. "THE HILLS ARE ALIVE WITH THE SOUND OF MUSIC" (pants down and opera style) Ahh, the good old days in Urumqi China with the D.D.B.'s and the C.O.T.

And you can't forget PINK ELEPHANTS!!!

Oh yea, I wasn't sure if my little email go to you, I'm glad that it brought back some fun memories because it totally got me laughing for days afterwards. Would China or the COT been the same without Truce or Dare? I think not! I love you girls! And Kiley, you were smart to stick with the "truce" because DNell is the master at coming up with dares...I should have been more afraid.
