Gwenchik saw a chapter in the book "Nurtureshock: the new thinking about children" a chapter heading "why kids lie" and was surprised that people write books about it.
Gwen: Isn't that obvious?
Me: Do you know why?
Gwen: Of, course. Firstly, they lie not to get caught doing something bad; secondly, kids lie to not upset their parents; and thirdly, kids lie because they think that they can get away with it. Why is the book so thick?

Gwen is a sage. I don't think i could have summurized "why people lie" that neatly.
Gwen, the book is thick probably because it tries to explain how to catch kids' lies and maybe even how to lie to kids in a way so that they dont notice and dont learn to think that lying is ok.
