I think this is a good example of a lie because you and your son both have a shared understanding of the world and he is deliberately saying something he does not believe to be true (that does not match his own internal recall of events).
There is a physical component to this lie but it seems to me that the social part dominates.
- lilerjee 1y agoYes, They have the same understanding of the meanings of the words "I", "was", "not" and "there", and the sentence.
- monkeyelite 1y agoThat’s not the point. You know your son knows what happened - knowledge of his mental state. Not that you have a physical proof about the chain of causality.
