Sorry to hear that Kriston, but I'm sure you're right, it's just a phase. DS8 is sort of the unnaturally truthful sort too, so I am not so experienced with this either. We do have a close cousin (close in age and locale) who was getting into a habit of lying. At one point she and ds got into a bit of an argument over something and the sides as explained to parents were pretty different stories. I don't even remember the details but it came down to ds is considered truthful, and she was...well, not. A few more run-ins like that and she has really shaped up.
