Dill would tell Scout and Jem the "adventures" he's been to. He would say he's been all around the world and has been to Merridian. In reality, they were all a lie and he has never truly been to where he stated that he was.

Dill tells Scout and Jem that his father is not around because he's a "mean" man who doesn't pay attention to him. Later in the story, it's revealed that his father actually works a lot and travels often for his job, causing Dill to feel neglected.
