Case in point: I smell burnt paper - go into son’s room and ask wha you are burning.
Son - “noth’n”
me - I smell smoke and burnt paper - did you burn paper?
Son - “nope” (staring straight at my face)
me - one more chance - what were you burning?
son - “I did not burn anything”
me - come with me (I close his door and wait 2 minutes)
me - (open the room and walk in with him, the room stinks of burnt paper) So, do you smell that?
Son - “yeah?”
me - it’s the only room that smells like paper was burning. Now lie to my face again and tell me you were not burning paper.
Son - “I did not burn any paper”
me - (exhasperated) You are lying, why does it smell like burnt paper?
Son - “A piece of paper ‘synched’ as I used it to insulate a piece of wire that I placed between the poles on a battery”
