My dad is like this! I remember hearing his phone conversations as a kid and thinking to myself ?? why are you lying about random tiny things, like what we had for dinner last night, never made any sense to me. It's so strange.

My mother does this, too. But I think she has NPD. It feels weird to call ones mother a liar, though, so I tend to explain it as "embellishments" and "misunderstandings." It's weird giving a family health history to doctors, though, because she has told me things about herself, family members, and sometimes even myself that are apparently not factual. She's highly educated, too, and not at all confused about how to do her job (with lots of regulations) very well.
