If you’re on Facebook, you know that there has been “a thing” of everyone posting 10 concerts that they have attended and one of them is a lie. You have to figure out which one is the lie. The unofficial campaign has been going on for so long that, 97% of the country (that is on Facebook) should be getting pretty good at spotting lies… kind of at a “Criminal Minds” level of expertise.
So, I’ve decided to change it up a bit and list 10 lies that I have told while at or about a concert. As you’ll see, some of them include invoking the “I’m a parent and it’s best to lie for right now” rule from page 38 of the parent manual.
“They were sold out. I didn’t even get one for ME!”
When I forgot to purchase a concert ticket for a friend, only purchased 3 vs. 4 so then 3 of us had to lie about what we did that night.
“They were all out of those lighted, spinny things by the time I got to the counter.”
Disney Concert (“I’m a parent and it’s best to lie for right now” rule) and the lighted, spinny thing was $18 and I had 2 kids
“I went but I hated it.”
Osmond Brothers’ concert… my first concert ever with my older sister; said after I made the mistake of telling my friends that I went.
“He’s super talented.”
About a Bob Dylan concert when we were hanging out with some girls from college who said they thought he was a genius.
“Oh yeah! I’ve seen him twice!”
ALSO, about a Bob Dylan concert when we were hanging out with some girls from college who said they thought he was a genius and we were getting ever-so-close to going home with them.
“Those tickets in the front row are given to poor children who don’t have parents.”
Said at a Barney the Dinosaur show when my kids were crying that we could barely see him on stage and I refused to pay the $$ to get tickets other than peanut heaven.
“This is ANOTHER one of those concerts where they give the front tickets to poor children who don’t have parents.”
Said at a Wiggles concert to my kids. Invoking the parent rule here too because this was only 3 months after dumping a wad on the previously listed Barney show.
“Yes I was here the entire time! It was great!”
Said to my kids at one of their kindergarten band concerts when I had sneaked out to catch a listen to a Pens playoff game with some other dads.
“My phone crapped out. As a matter of fact, I heard that the network got struck by lightning and was down all night.”
Said to my friend, in lie #1, who had been trying to get in touch with me about hanging out since, “we hadn’t been able to get tickets to the concert.”
I didn’t have that much to drink.
Not sure which concert this was but, I’m sure that I said this and then drove home.. which was indicated by the side-view mirror missing from my car and the tree branches stuck in the door handle.
That’s it! Go have fun posting your 10 concert lies and things, Ya Jagoffs!
