Polygraph Control Questions

[Jeff-G]

My question is not about pre-employment or legal polygraphs.  My wife doesn't believe something I told her. Its' not about cheating or anything, it's just about something a family member told me, then when she asked them they denied ever having the conversation with me.  She just can't believe that the family member would have said that & this may cause a separation.  I want to get a polygraph to prove to her I'm not lying.  What type of control questions would they give me?  I have nothing to hide, so I wouldn't have any need to conceal (thus lie) on any control questions.  Also, if I'm 32 & they ask if I was born in 1968, thus I say no, what is supposed to happen on the polygraph?  If I'm honest; I'd think nothing would change.  Does our body react different to a no vs yes response? Or is it the fact that I have think for a second about the question? 

Thanks

When spiking your body's response to control questions, should you lie or tell the truth when answering the control questions?

[example]

Which of the following is an example of a comparison or control question?

            
Did you kill Ms. Smith?

            
Were you at the bank on Thursday?

            
Have you ever taken something that did not belong to you?

            
Did you see Wendy Jones in the schoolyard yesterday morning?

... would that be a comparison question?

The only question among those you listed that would be a "control" or comparison question is, "Have you ever taken something that did not belong to you?"
