Another one to watch is the TV on mute when TV has been taken away.  I can 
usually tell, but once he pulled it off when I was distracted and busy.

My fiance at the time came in and innocently asked why is the TV on mute? 
My son's logic was "I wasn't really watching it since I couldn't hear it.  I 
learned not to be so distracted, and he learned about lying.

Just one of those things to look out for.
