Why your Partner Lies to you...?

When your partner lies to you, it’s sometimes like they’re hiding a toy behind their back and saying “I don’t have anything,” even though you can see it peeking out.

Lying is like playing hide-and-seek with the truth.

Imagine you're at the park, and you both find a really cool slide. You go first, and you're having so much fun that you forget to tell your partner about it. When they ask what you did, you say “I didn’t do anything,” even though you know they would have loved it too.

Sometimes, people lie because they don’t want the other person to feel sad or upset, like when you’re playing with a toy and accidentally break it. You might say “It wasn’t broken” so your friend doesn’t cry.

Other times, lying is just part of the game, like when you both pretend not to know where the cookie jar is, even though you both sneaked a cookie earlier.

Lying isn't always bad, sometimes it's just a fun way to play!
