Question

short story on liars should have good memories​

Answer 1

Answer:

That's something I grew up hearing also. My grandmother used to say it pretty often and it it is a pretty simple truth. Sometimes, though, I think when people are cross examined and put under pressure their story will begin to get chinks in it as they begin to become confused with why someone keeps asking the same questions over in different ways. People can be led with words away from the truth they know and already told. Particularly people with a strong conscience may begin to question their own selves and what they know or think they know. In the same way, people with a particularly strong conscience will often fail a lie detector test because a question makes them feel guilty about something totally unrelated to a particular line of questioning.

I've noticed something personally, too, over the years. Sometimes a good liar can look you in the eyes and lie so easily and well it doesn't show. And sometimes in those same cases if you are not looking at the person at all you can hear the lie in their voice and in their patterns of speech.
