Lana thought for a while and then listed her two truths and a lie "I can play the trombone. I can speak fluent french. My grandmother's aunt's third cousin once removed was Marilyn Monroe."
I kept quiet because I did not want to ruin the game. Lana had the voice of an angel but her musical talents ended there as she never bothered to learn an instrument.
"The third one was in too much depth to be a lie." Brennan's mother said before guessing option one.
"Yeah. You are right." Lana confirmed in defeat.
Up next was Mr Lewis and he seemed prepared as he rattled off his list "I can still do a perfect handstand. My mama gave birth to me and my brother in a small liqueur store in Nigeria. Finally, I completed my law degree at college in five years."
The two other boys and Mrs Lewis kept quiet as they knew the answer already. That left Lana and me to guess. Lana shrugged her shoulders my way and left me to guess.
I thought about it then voiced "I think number three. Does it not take at least seven years to do a law degree?"
"Number three is correct." Mr Lewis told me "But you are wrong because I completed the degree in three years."
"That is very impressive." I sent a smile his way "You must be a gifted lawyer."
Mr Lewis lost his happiness as he elaborated "That and I was the only black man in a college full of rich white men. There was a hurry for me to graduate."
"Baron, you are one of the most successful lawyers in the state." Mrs Lewis interjected as she kissed her husband's cheek "Excuse my language but all of those rich assholes are bankrupt now."
The image of them made me feel happy. They both were so in love with each other. I hoped I had what they had when I was older.
Mrs Lewis said her list "I was once the leader of a choir in my local church when I was a little girl. I fear Spiders. Last one is that I lost my first kiss to a member of Iron Maiden."
"Iron maiden?" I sat up at her revelation "I really hope that is true. That would be some story."
"You do not look scared of anything, Mrs Lewis." Lana said with a smile "I will guess number two."
The older woman smiled "I can’t sing to save myself and I never went to church when I was little."
"Iron maiden." I repeated with excitement in my tone "It must have been great meeting them. Which one did you kiss?"
"I will not say who because Baron gets annoyed when I say his name." She glanced at her husband, laughing "I was invited to the one of the band member’s funerals and my loving husband went all caveman so I never went."
