Tell them to lie to him a few times. The following are all scenarios for your mom...."Sure, you can use the car!" Then make sure the keys are hidden, tell him you can't find them. Then, pull the keys out and take a trip to the store. When he asks why you lied about not being able to find the keys, ask him, "How does that make you feel?...being lied to? When he asks what's for dinner, tell him it's in the oven. When he goes in to get dinner from the oven, tell him, "I lied. There isn't any dinner." When he says, "Why would you LIE about something like that!!!" Tell him, "I'm not lying, I thought dinner was in there!" Later, tell him, "Yeah, but from your behavior, I just figured it was no big deal to lie! Clearly, you think lying IS a big deal...You don't lie to me, I won't lie to you!"
absolutely hilarious. but yeah that might work!
I'm glad there was a happy ending with your son.
