Everyone loves a good game of truth or dare. Sometimes, I walk down the street and play the game with myself, it’s so fun! But you didn’t need to know that...
Or maybe you did. Because I feel that we all let go of our childhood games too soon, replacing them with beer pong or poker— or whatever you think is cool for the weekend.
But sometimes, it's the funny, stupid, and childish fun that our lives miss at the end of the day. I, for one, never want to lose the warmth and silliness of childhood questions and games. I want to dare everyone today to return that old-fashioned fun with me. I am triple-dog-daring everyone to play Truth or Dare!
DARE:
Run into a store with your friends and frantically ask the cashier— or the people in line—what year it is. When someone responds, just yell to them, “I’m late!” and run right back out of the store.
TRUTH: What is your ultimate happy place?
DARE:
As you’re walking among a heap of people, just shout a random name like “Matthew?” or “Jessica?”, and see who turns around. Make sure to act like you never called anyone’s name in the first place, when and if they do turn around to look for you.
TRUTH: What is the biggest lie you told someone?
DARE:
Prank call your mom during the workday with a *67 number and act like you’re Pizza Hut, Dominos—anything. Keep repeating that her order of five cheese pizza pies will be over in fifteen minutes.
TRUTH: Who do you need closure from, right this very minute?
DARE:
I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but there is a contact number on the back of your shampoo bottle. Get your friends together, and I dare you to call that number, and make up a crisis about how you don’t know how to apply shampoo to your own head.
TRUTH: What food are you craving?
DARE:
Whatever your next conversation is with someone, just cut them off. Every time. Ask them a question, and then answer it yourself. Keep it up until your friendship is threatened.
TRUTH: Tea or coffee?
DARE:
Close your eyes and scroll through your contact list. Have a friend tell you when to stop. Whatever contact you land on, send them a dumb text saying something like, “I speak American."
TRUTH: What is a guilty pleasure of yours?
DARE:
Spend a day speaking only in clichés and sayings that have no actual connection to the conversation.
TRUTH: Who would you take with you to Hawaii right now? Please say me..
DARE:
Find a random conspiracy theory online and convince all your friends you believe in it. Text in your group chat, perhaps, “Hey, guys. I don’t think space actually exists. I think it’s all a ploy of the government.”
So, you in? Comment your truths in the comment section, if you’d like!
