factitious
When you make up a story and act like you’re telling the truth, even though it’s so bad it makes your grandpa cry.
"I was chased by a bear. It was wearing a hat.", A kid who’s never been outside.
"I ate a whole cow. I’m still full.", A kid who eats pizza for breakfast.
"I’m not lying. I’m just exaggerating. A little. A lot. A whole lot.", A kid who’s lying to his mom.
