You might be familiar with the concept of an unreliable narrator- the idea that the person telling a story is lying or is himself blinded to the truths of his story. I'd like you to take this idea into the micro. Someone is telling your character a story, but for whatever reason, their take on things is unreliable- and your character knows it.
If you want to take this one step further from cliche, make the unreliability a result of limited intellect or emotional recollection instead of malice.
