Something Tells Me These Kids Might Not Be Telling the Truth

Something tells me these kids might not be telling the truth. Their mouths say one thing, but all the available evidence points in a very different and opposite direction. Watch this short but hysterical clip to see if you’re able to determine whether these kids are telling the truth or if they are fibbing significantly.

No one wants to be around someone who has a problem telling the truth. Most individuals have a very low opinion of those who lie or present things in a dishonest manner. That’s generally why people have so little time for politicians and lawyers – two areas in which lying is just part of the standard operating procedure.

Essentially, it comes down to trust, and it’s impossible to trust someone who refuses to tell the truth. If you can’t trust someone, you will be constantly questioning and second-guessing that individual, and there is no chance for that relationship. Even simply being associated with a known liar can damage one’s reputation.

So, just tell the truth. That seems like a simple solution. However, as a YouTube clip demonstrates, simple doesn’t always mean easy, especially when telling the truth is likely to result in a negative outcome. These kids tell some whoppers, even when all the evidence clearly shows they aren’t being truthful.

The video begins with a child being questioned about a pen and whether she opened it or not. She contends she did not open the writing utensil, even as ink is all over her face.

Another little girl is asked whether she had gotten into a cake. She states that she stayed away from the cake, pleading her innocence with the cake covering her face.

Another segment shows a little guy who is asked about drinking a cup of coffee. No, he did not take a swig or two of the popular drink, he states. But a few moments later, the evidence literally falls from his mouth.

Proverbs 22:6 “If a child is trained up in the right way, even when he is old, he will not be turned away from it.”
