More like the story was cooked up by the dad, and possibly the son too. Or,
the son was doing something he should not have been doing, got hurt, and he
cooked up the meteorite story by himself.
OR - someone beaned the kid with a shower of stones that were hurled by a
slingshot.

There was a facebook discussion on this. NO WAY those tiny stones caused
that big gash.... The stones are several grams at most and could not have
falling fast enough to cause that injury, nor anything close to that (even
if you combined all the little frags into one stone).
