    I think that you might have read Jane Eyre in college, but since that's the only option left I'll pick that one.

    (Honestly though, I think that the wrong answer is #2)

    Heathcliff is the super sleuth. Number one, that I have never left the US, is a lie. I've been to a bunch of other countries. True is that I've never read Jane Eyre, been meaning to though. Also true is that I've never sent a text message.

    Lie to us Heathcliff!

    Hehe. Okay then. I've never left Australia so I just thought maybe you wouldn't have left the US.

    1. I believe that all chairs should come with instructions on how to use them.

    2. I failed writing the letter 'j' in grade prep and the use of exclamation marks in grade one, and I've never failed anything else.

    3. I used to have, and still sort of do, have this weird habit where if I do something with the left side of my body I'd have to do the same with my right, things like scratching my leg or putting a seatbelt on.

    Haha. Bonus points if you can guess why I'm lying.

    For I have known them all already, known them all:
    Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
    I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
    I know the voices dying with a dying fall
    Beneath the music from a farther room.

    So how should I presume?

    #1 = Because you keep falling off the chairs?

    I think it was #2... you failed at writing the letter "k."

    Holy crap, I got it right?!?

    Alright, this theme will be "pets and how they died."

    1. My mom had a spider monkey when she was a kid that used to perch on the fine china cabinent and throw apples at people. It electrocuted itself by chewing on the tv cord.

    2. I had a bird when I was five that flew out of the window in the middle of winter and froze to a telephone wire in the ally behind our house. He was up there for three days until the ravens got him.

    3. I had an albino cornsnake when I was seventeen that slithered itself under the dryer and was dehydrated to death. It creeped me out when he went missing, I had to check my shoes every morning before school to make sure that he didn't coil up in them during the night.

    Wild guess, it is all so unbelievable. Although I'm hoping on the fact that you weren't five and you were six, or something like that.

    Well, lemme think.

    1. is plausible, since animals tend to chew on electric cords
    2. Is feasible, birds will fly towards any opening to escape

    I think 3 is the most likely. Snakes are cold-blooded and under the dryer is a warm spot
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    I will go with #1 because it is the most believable (thus, it must be a lie! )

    I don't like the idea of a spider monkey being electrocuted, but I LOVE the idea of a spider money disrupting tea parties by chucking apples at the guests while perched atop a china cabinet!

    PLEASE let his name have been 'Mr. Bananas.'

    Haha, his name was "Cheeky," which was deliciously appropriate.

    Heathcliff got it right, the lie was #2... I've always been very careful about leaving doors and windows open during the winter because I couldn't stop picturing the exact same scenario.

    Okay. I had a bird once.

    1. I had a nightmare once where my bird flew out the window and I caught it back by scooping it into an Acubra Hat.

    2. I honestly enjoy walking.

    3. I used to go to a pediatrist (I think that is how you spell it) when I was little, however he wanted me to come back more than once a year and I didn't really want to bother, so I didn't go back.
