Cool headed liar

Over the weekend, Dad went to Karratha for Uncle Scott's birthday party. Neither Scott nor Pa knew he was coming up... it was to be a surprise. Courtney and Brooke were both told to keep it a secret.
On Friday evening, Courtney was talking to Pa on the phone and she slipped, saying something like "Have you seen my Dad?" Seconds later she recovered with "Oh no, that's right he went to Albany for the weekend."
She obviously did a good job at controlling her tone as well because Pa bought it hook, line and sinker.
Having a 5 year old that can make up such convincing lies might become a double edged sword.
