Jimmy taking his birthdate as that which his mother

simply a disagreement regarding what is true.
Assuming his *latest* story is the truth (and it seems to be), the
lies would be when he told the reporter that August 7 was incorrect,
when he told Encyclopedia Britannica that August 7 was incorrect, when
he told the reporter that Wikipedia got the date from Britannica, and
when he referenced the reporters story on his blog saying "for the
first time the world has a proper source".
