Yep, my 3.5 year old has hit that stage.

The lying stage that is.  Thankfully she has only done it twice because I have talked to her about lying.

I saw her doing something she wasn't supposed to with my own eyes and as soon as she saw me looking, she backed off what she was doing and looked guilty.  I asked her why she was doing what she was doing and she said "I didn't mommy!" Even though I told her I saw what she did and know that she did it, she still kept saying "I didn't do it mommy!" I saw it from the beginning to the end, so I know she was lying.

Welcome! Come on in, the water's fine! :)

It is so hard to explain to my daughter what lying IS, and why it's bad. It drives me flipping crazy when she lies (and she's not very good at it lol), and I would love to find a way to drum it into her head that lying only makes things worse.

In my opinion, there is nothing worse than a lying-ass teenager. I hope to avoid this. I also hope to win the lottery. lol

I don't know how they learn to lie but my son does the same thing even when we see him do it.  He doesn't have anyone to blame either so I don't know how to break kids of this. If you figure it out let me know. I just let him know that it is not okay to lie over and over.

My 3 year old blames his sister for everything and my 7 year old sd lies to keep others from getting in trouble, and I don't mean like her younger siblings, even lies covering up her moms mistakes.
We just always point out lying gets them, but also in more trouble than just telling the truth.

OMGosh my daughter does that.  Drives me nuts.  Every single time I remind her what's a truth, and what's a lie and that lying is wrong.  SMH

My 4 yr old does it. His fave thing to do is blame things on his 2 yr old brother. Somehow I got him to thinking that mommy truly does see EVERYTHING. I think its because I always know when he's lying, so I get down on his level, look him right in the eye and say "mommy knows exactly what happened, so you need to tell me because you will be in more trouble if you don't." He asks "you saw me?" And when I tell him yes, he tells me what he did...even if I didn't actually see him, I usually have a pretty good idea. So far its been working for us, and he doesn't lie as much as he used to.
