De boy come home late and de father ask he way he bin. He say he went to de movies. Immediately, de lie-detector machine beep – which show de boy lying.
De father get upset and tell de boy, “At your age, I never lied.”
De machine beep and de mother start to laugh and say, “dat shows he is really your son.” De machine beep again.
