No. There is something to this line of questioning, but it's just a little "off".

I'm thinking. :) I marked it in red as something to ponder.

Did he not have an "occupation"?

I take general truth as things like "The sun rises at the east and sets at the west".

Did he know that what he was saying was true?

No.

And go to bed! That was my break. (I suddenly remembered I had to mail a bill tomorrow and had to walk it down to the mailbox down the street.) But I'm getting back to my stuff for a while anyway.

You just can't resist when there's another question, can you? I know how that is. :)

Ahhh, it's not something like that.

Yes, he knew it was both a lie and the truth.

My bad. I asked a "not" question, so now I don't understand your response. Let's turn it around.

I can't. I laid down for 2 minutes, and got up to see if there was a question. Unky was here... I couldn't leave. Then you came along... :)

I am so wide awake. Okay, I am going to bed in 25 minutes, tired or not.

Went right over my head. No

Does it involve a war?
Did he lie to someone dying?

Does it involve a war? Yes (See - great question)
Did he lie to someone dying? No

Was he a soldier in the war?

Did he lie about his age to be able to fight (i.e. minimum age)?

Did he actually state his age as a number of years?

(Are you in bed, or are you peaking?)

Was he a soldier in the war? Trying to be - see next question

Did he lie about his age to be able to fight (i.e. minimum age)? Yes

Did he actually state his age as a number of years? I have to say it - yes-ish

(Are you in bed, or are you peaking?) This made me laugh. I was sleeping. We are having thunder and lightening. My dog gets scared so he woke me up. :(

Did he know other languages?

I'd hate that. I sleep great through storms, as for some odd reason I find them calming, so I'd be ticked if my dog woke up. (But I have cats, and while they don't like thunder, they tend to dive under the bed, not wake me up.)

Let's go with this language thing...

Did he say his age that in one language meant one thing and in another language meant another? (That would be a very odd coincidence if so.)

Did he hold up a number of fingers?

Was one of his fingers missing?

Did he know other languages? No

He's a good boy, but he's always afraid of the thunder and lightening. Soon after I posted, it stopped and started raining really hard. We had a quiet rest of the night. It can be frustrating - he moans and I know he's upset and wants comforting. He's a big dog (yellow lab), so it's kind of funny.

Did he hold up a number of fingers? No

Was one of his fingers missing? No - but that's an interesting thought.

Was the question he answered to something like "How old are you?"?

Did he reply by saying solely a number?

Was the question he answered to something like "How old are you?"? Yes

Did he reply by saying solely a number? No - and this is a good line of questioning.

Did he say something along the lines of "This is my sixteenth summer"?

Since you celebrate your birthday at the END of the year it's marking, it could be taken to mean he's 16, when depending on the time of year he was born, he would only be 15 and some months.
