Kids are bored of it. Like algebra.

The same way anytime a person over explains a subject constantly is recognized as a sign of lying.
I noticed that when I was on a jury. The defendant had such an elaborate and clear story of their defense that we decided could not have been possible given the historic nature of the crime. He literally remembered every single moment of the alibi he provided even though the crime was a historic homicide case from 1998. He literally told the court the exact time he brushed his teeth, how long it took him to get to work that day all to show how he couldn’t have been the killer because he was busy at the time of death haha. It was bizarre listening to somebody discuss a date in 1998 like it was yesterdat or something.
I would immediately assume that that much detail was to hide something. My brain is probably trained to look at the wrong thing first, but I've also been lied to a lot.
Yeah your original comment was right. When people over explain something it’s usually either that they’re not telling the truth and so they feel they have to really convince you, or they’re incredibly nervous.
If they’re nervous they might engage in that behavior even though they’re telling the truth but more commonly an excessive explanation is an attempt to create a seemingly good lie. It also makes the lie easier to pick up on because of all the details. Read my follow up comment to the guy that stuck up for the criminal and you’ll see just how funny the murderer’s alibi was.
