Liar Liar Pants on Fire!

We all know someone like this. Or we know someone who knows someone like this. A liar. Not just a regular liar. An astronomical liar. One who tells these outrageous lies but ones that can't really be proven to be false. I know someone like this. Here are just a few of the lies she's told and how/why I know they're not true.
1. She was in the towers on 9/11 when the collapsed with her 2 month old baby, who she almost left there with friends to run out for an errand but at the last moment decided to take with her. - Ok..why would anyone be at an office for a social visit before 9 am? IF you were there...why would you be running out to the store at 8:30 in the morning. Where was her other child? Now her almost 6 year old is traumatized by something she should have little or no knowledge of because she was 2 months old at the time. This was the first whopper she told that made me go hmmmmm.
2. She had a twin that died in childhood, her mother never loved her but loved the twin better, bad childhood because of this etc. - On a trip to the tenement museum, she said she could have taken her daughter to her sisters house instead. HOLD UP! I thought your sister was dead? Whoopsie!
3. She was a model and backup dancer for 2 prominent singers from the 1980s and was a frequent visitor to Studio 54 in it's hey day. - Ok first off she's not even 5' tall so the dancer model thing is just ridiculous. Studio 54? They let a 12 year old in? That's about how old she must have been when Studio was popular.
4. This is the whopper...the one that really put me over the edge. She tells me she's got cystitis and is going to have tests done. Then she tells me she has breast cancer. Now I've had several members of my family die from or survive cancer. I know what cancer looks like. She told us she's getting radiation treatment through a specific hospital. I happen to have a friend there who looks up her records, unethical I know, and tells me she's never been treated for cancer there. Her kids never miss a day of school, she's never sick nor showing signs of sickness from radiation. She does the Avon Cancer Walk, she tells us that Make a Wish Foundation bought her kids stuff (just an FYI..make a wish is for terminally ill CHILDREN not adults). And now she's commiserating with a mother in our school telling her about when she lost her hair she wore a pink wig and asks her kid to verify it. She NEVER lost her hair and her kid knows it. So she's having her kid lie for her now also.
These are just a few of the lies she's told. I stopped talking to her months ago because I cannot look a liar like that in the eye. Hey we all lie...does my ass look big in this? No honey you look gorgeous kind of lies. These that she tells are out of a desperate need for attention and to be able to reap the benefits of the foundations who give to people with these issues. She's milking the systems to the best of her ability and teaching her kids to do the same. If you tell anyone who hasn't experienced it about her, they look at you like you're nuts. HOW dare you say something like this about a woman who has survived cancer?
I'll wait though. Inevitably someone will say or do something to show her that she's not as slick as she thinks she is. You have to be REALLY smart to be a good liar so you don't mess it all up. She's not that smart...karma will get her. I just hope I'm around to see it.
