Sounds like a case of learned behavior. It is considered alright to tell lies these days in order to cover up what really happened.
It is better to simply tell the truth rather than tell more lies to cover previous fibbing. Of course, the father will never be held accountable for the this fiction when they find the offending meteorite is simple driveway aggregate.

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.
