When we tell a lie, our brains have to work a lot harder

Have you ever told a little white lie, like pretending you didn't eat the last cookie? It might seem like a simple thing to do, but did you know that telling a lie is like giving your brain a workout?

When we tell the truth, our brains don't have to do much work. We just say what happened, and that's it. But when we tell a lie, our brains have to work a lot harder. We have to think about what we want to say, how to make it sound believable, and how to remember our story so we don't get caught.

It's like giving your brain a puzzle to solve. And just like solving a puzzle, telling a lie can be tiring. That's why sometimes, when we tell a lie, we might start to feel nervous or fidgety. Our brains are working hard to keep our story straight!

So, next time you think about telling a little white lie, remember that it's not as easy as it seems. Your brain is doing a lot of work behind the scenes! So you should consider solving a logical puzzle instead. That doesn't get you into trouble. 😊
