How Do You Know When Your Kids Are Lying?

I can tell if my oldest is lying by looking at his eyes. I know when the middle child is lying if his lips are moving. Seriously, if I want to know if he is lying I ask him a question and look only at his lips. They fight a smirch or a twitch when telling a lie. He is a very good liar if I'm not looking for it. The oldest couldn't lie to save his life.
The oldest also smiles through his eyes and the middle has a smile that lights up his face. 
How do your kids give themselves away?
All three of my kids, just have a look in their eyes that always, always, always gives them away.
They've learned they can't lie to me. I tell them 'I'm Mom, I know everything there is to know about you and if you do do something wrong I WILL find out.' When they do things in school, I will talk to them about it and they can't figure out how I found out.
It's great to have friends everywhere. My kids can't get away with anything bad or good...I also give them hugs and a big congrats when I've heard they've done something really nice at school too.
Well, my older two can't lie without me knowing instantly. It's just all over their faces. My youngest lies just as easily as he breathes, and he NEVER breaks down.
When he was about 8 I went into his room to get his sheets and couldn't help but notice about 8 holes burned in his bedspread (not to mention the burning smell in the air). To this day (and he's going on 16) he has NEVER admitted he burned the holes, even though he and I were the only two people in the house at the time! He was punished, lectured, begged, threatened and punished some more, and he never admitted it.
I have to give him credit. He is one stubborn guy! 
*lol* my Ben is quite a character. What saves us is that he has the nicest heart! He's very kind and will help you forever, with no complaints. His stubborn streak continues though!
I'll suggest the CIA to him....might be a perfect fit! *lol* He just might have a little trouble with not always being able to have the last word with his superiors!
I can't tell if my 7 year old is lying or not. She can keep a straight face. I know I'm going to have trouble with her when she becomes a teenager. Definatley not looking forward to that. If she lies to me about brushing her teeth now, what is she going to lie to me about when she's 16?? Uhhhhhh I can't think about it right now!! 
My 2 year old will lie and if I confront her about it she comes over and hugs me and says "I love you mommy". It's so hard to punish her for lying when she does that.
