I thought the same thing. Four possible explanations for how the kid wrote "friend" quickly come to mind, in descreasing order of plausibility:

1. Luck (possibly combined with undisclosed repeated attempts)

2. Dude's just lying

3. Camera in the garage

4. Psychic autism

But let's just jump to that last one.

I am honestly gobsmacked. I feel like maybe there was something missing in the editing because it just blows my mind. I would put "dudes just lying" at number 1, he has a huge incentive to lie and there is basically no downside.

People have a tough time believing someone would just lie to their faces.

Especially when a lot of us have been raised with the idea of honesty as a core value.
