He's been keeping secrets nearly all his life, and it feels so good to finally tell someone, he doesn't care they don't believe him.
So he tells and tells and tells and when he runs out of true stories he keeps telling, just because it feels so nice and nobody can tell the difference between fantasy and the reality he's talking about anyway.
And always, after a story, he ends it with the same words. A true, but meaningless thing: "But don't tell anyone... It's a secret!"
He whispers it conspiratorially, and his children giggle, delighted with the fantastical stories.
