Liar!
Someone stole my phone yesterday between 6 and 8pm. I think it was you, or someone you know.
You have to remember what you and your friends and family were doing yesterday between 6:00pm
and 8:00pm. If you can remember everything, you’re not lying. If you can’t remember everything,
you’re a liar!
