I agree with Naiya – it seems like lying comes out naturally under stress. I would say maybe he answers a simple question tentatively or accidentally with the wrong answer, or maybe he doesn’t say anything at all (or just stammers) and the others naturally assume that he saw God (or whatever his lie is), causing him to realize he can make them believe other things and starts deliberately saying things that aren’t true. Or maybe it’s accidental and he keeps it up out of embarrassment because the truth is harder to admit at this point and then he realizes he can manipulate it to his advantage. Maybe, to seal the deal, he quickly picks up on the fact that he needs to seem convincing and adjusts his lying accordingly. I feel that the moment when kids go from “Noooo *giggle*” to saying wrong things with a straight face is when they’re fully lying and when it turns into something grievous.
