O R L Y: "Oh, Really?"

By Lisa Ann Johnston Winfrey

This book is a compilation of our stories. The names have been changed to protect the guilty. If you read about yourself on these pages, enjoy. Please don't try to sue us because all we have to give you is an unsold copy of this book. We, as a family have enjoyed these stories many times throughout the years and my husband has encouraged me to write them. I was always going to get "around to it" and now here they are.My husband and I have been avid story tellers since childhood. The telling word in that sentence is "story" meaning you can't believe a word we say. Our children have picked up the habit and they too can "spin a yarn". I am the first born and my husband is the baby so each of us to get the attention that we thought was due us, developed the ability to embellish. By embellish I mean that we were able to take what would have been an already unbelievable story and make it so much more. We don't exactly lie about things but the truth sometimes is stretched to point of breaking. I don't think that my children have ever trusted anything that I said. We had many a night of internet searching and proving sessions. Even though I started out exaggerating the stories, I soon decided that the things that have happened to us as a family were simply too good as they were and needed no elaboration. However read with care and with a grain of salt. The title of the book ORLY came from a particular battle between my children over which one of them actually invented the phrase ORLY. Since Dave Barry had already written And I Am Not Making this Up, I could not use that even though that title was perfect. I decided on ORLY after I heard one of them exclaim, "O R L Y" over something that they deemed unbelievable, yet true.
