The ability to use the least amount of information (from the given truth), bend it to your will, add some bullshit to it, and add a dash of charm/reality-distortion field, while slowly changing the topic. Mom: Did you clean your room. Son: Yes i did, and it looks beautiful, as do you, can i have some dinner now. (while lying to his mom. In reality, all the son did was clean the visible part of the room that his mom could see, and quickly changed the topic).
