I don't believe you. No mother would understand why you asked the child to lie in this type of situation! The situation itself, I can see her being nice about that and saying it happens sometimes (especially if you didn't say it was for a full 30 minutes), but frankly, if you told me that you did that and you also mentioned that you then asked my child to lie about it to me, you would be fired on the spot for trying to hide it and asking that of my child.
