Humankind has told lies to each other and ourselves since the beginning. And nearly as long, there have been myths about ways to detect such deceptions, no matter how small. However, science has progressed in this area to create tests that can pick up on specific cues that indicate when a person might be lying. Of course, these tests are usually flawed, which is why they are never admissible in court, but they can be an excellent tool to ensure people are nervous enough to come clean. The dad in this story thought it might be fun to hook his son up to their new lie detector, only to discover that the truth sometimes comes at a high cost.
A father buys a lie detector robot that slaps people when they lie.
He decides to test it out at dinner one night. The father asks his son what he did that afternoon.
The son says, “I did some schoolwork.”
The robot slaps the son.
The son says, “Ok, Ok. I was at a friend’s house watching movies.”
Dad asks, “What movie did you watch?”
Son says, “Toy Story.”
The robot slaps the son.
Son says, “Ok, Ok, we were watching a dirty movie.”
Dad says, “What? At your age I didn’t even know what dirty movies were.”
The robot slaps the father.
Mom laughs and says, “Well, he certainly is your son.”
The robot slaps the mother.
