Blame-shifting
My little nephew (who really is good as gold) can be a little stinker (literally) when it suits him. The other evening, he climbed up on my lap. After a while, he passed some gas … and blamed it on his grandfather. Now, where did he learn to do that??!?

maybe because i always blame a “mouse, the dog, cat what ever is handy
so he learned it from me i guess
Maybe because you’ve created such a great of yourself in his heart,he gets scared of telling u simple truths.
