Happy Hump Day for you Monday through Friday people. How's your week going so far?
Today's prompt for the Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge asks us to share something we always thought was true, but wasn't. Oddly, my mind went to one thing: thinking my dad went to school in Canada and used a dog sled to get there in the winter.
My dad is one of those guys who could, as the saying goes, "sell ice to an Eskimo." He worked in sales throughout most of his professional life. He has a competitive side and a deep-seated desire to win. Our family game time was Sunday afternoons, and just when we thought we had Dad beat, he would pull out money from under the game board. I don't recall a game he didn't win.
Why he told me the story of the dog sled and school in Canada is something I will never know. While I am uncertain where he was born, he graduated from the same school I did. I was an adult with at least one child of my own before my oldest sister told me the truth. Family dynamics can be fun.

Your dad sounds fun, Cheryl! 😀
My godfather has a way of telling jokes that SOUND like he's sharing a personal story from the past. I've gotten savvy about them the last two decades or so. XD
