<p>You have just described my child. But when he talks to somebody who may know what is really going on (e.g., doctors). he dares not play this trick.</p>
<p>Not to be mean or anything here, here is an interesting story: When he had a haircut at one time (in freshmen), he told the lady who cut his hair that he went to Yale when asked. That lady did not know what school it is and started to comment that one of her relatives went a better school - a local state college.</p>
