Listen this: maybe the old story of Pinocchio is not just a ’story ‘…

According Dr.Alan Hirsch, “When people lie, the cells that are within our noses swell and spread histamine that makes it itch. As a result, the liar often touches or itches his nose. Other things he says is that they lean forward or use words like “I could not…” instead of the contration ‘couldn’t’. Or they might say “…even though I really wanted to have called you… blah, blah, blah ..” instead of “I could not call yesterday …” all this, to put more emphasis on the lie they are trying to preach.

Interesting isn’t it?

Who doesn’t want to detect a lie?

I do! And have learned from life, a few little secrets from now on will not be so secret… And I’ve also seen that, Shiloh, my little dog, tries to fool me or lie about food – but that’s a subject for another day.;-)

But today, Toby will help me with her expressions. Here he’s questioning… doubtful. Just look at his gaze.

Ok, my observations are: if a person laughs just with their mouth, while the rest of the face shows a different type of emotion or feeling… It is deception for sure! And you can see it if you’re alert at those times when you have doubts about something in question.

Another thing: changing the subject quickly!… The liar will feel more laid back, relaxed and happy with the change, while the someone telling the truth will get a little confused and quickly want to go back to the original subject. And look in their eyes, of course, always.

Groucho Marx, the comedian, thinks that the way to tell if the person is being honest with you is if you ask her and she says “YES “, you know that she is lying.
