The vagaries of memory are fascinating and amusing, and this is a well-told tale.
Through several readings, the opening implied to me that Dad wasn't denying that the incident happened, only that he'd told. That, obviously, was unsatisfying. It would be easy to clarify if that's desired, but if I'm the only one who's read it that way, it may be fine as is.
