Lies that little boys tell

As a little boy, B. would lie, as all little boys are prone to doing. But he had a tell. His eyes would grow wide, his mouth would struggle not to smirk, and he’d eventually cover his face with his hands and stare at the ground. Don’t lie, we told him. You’re really bad at it.
