Missed Opportunity

Today in class, we played a little board game set on the hands of a clock... Each turn, we would roll the die, advance that number of hours, and take a card that told us either to "di la verdad" or "di una mentida." We would then respond with either a truth or a lie, as per the card, regarding what we did in that hour the previous day.

The game only ran for two rounds, due to the shaky understanding of it on the part of a few players. I pulled a truth card each time. Sadly, this meant my list of hastily prepared lies had to go entirely to waste...

Here are lies I didn't get to tell in class about what I did yesterday. They extend from the sublime to the ridiculous. Some were going to be used as half-truths, in that I HAD done them, but was going to use them on the wrong hours.

Here's the list. Guess in the comments which ones I actually did.

A las *Time in question*,

Yo estaba escribiendo un poema para mi blog.

Estaba robando un banco.

Estaba huyendo de los cienciólogos en la calle Dos de Maig.

Fingí ser un avión.

Malversó más de cuarenta millones de dólares de Microsoft.

Empecé un incendio.
