In this playful exercise, one discovers the power of cooking up facts, offering both teller and listener a temporary escape into a world where facts and, well, fabrications are sitting cheek-by-jowl with a large smile. The pleasure is akin to stepping into a parallel universe, where the mind is free to sculpt a narrative that tickles the fancy and induces internal laughter.
Fabricating harmless facts fosters a spirit of camaraderie for the person spinning the yarn with his or her listener(s) – of course, unbeknown to the latter. The harmless nature of these white lies ensures that joy is the primary byproduct, allowing you to be tickled by the undeniable fact that you’re pulling off a master-trick.
The pleasures of making up as you go is especially special. Because, sometimes, even you don’t know where you’re going with your story.
