Q: how can you tell a five-year-old is lying? A: their mouth is open & they are saying weird nonsense that couldn't possibly be true, as if you are a freaking idiot
I once saw this in our neighborhood. 5 yo kid: excitedly telling his mom Bamboo! Bamboo! Mom: shushing and hurrying him along, clearly thought it was in his imagination. House they passed had 2 potted bamboo plants in a thicket of other growth. I'd noted it, bc it was so odd.
