What lie does dill tell scout and jem about his father in to kill a mockingbird?

Well, honey, Dill tells Scout and Jem that his father is the president of a railroad, but it turns out he's just a good-for-nothing man who doesn't pay much attention to him. Kids sure do have a way of spinning tall tales, don't they? Just goes to show, you can't believe everything you hear, especially from a little rascal like Dill.
