Need advice
SS8 isn't being mean but it is very annoying to me ...
I don't know what to do about it or how to correct him.
Examples :
Today grandpa is staying with us for two days. While SS was with his grandma this weekend I bought some flowers to plant and some flower bulbs. I was talking to grandpa about the flowers. SS interrupts to say "oh yeah dad is only planting flowers no vegetables this year. He's planting flowers and bought some (blah blah blah blah)"
Me: oh yeah I bought those flowers to plant
SS (talking nonsense about how SO bought some flowers fr his school - didn't happen)
They have never planted flowers. SS wasn't even around when we were deciding what to do.
Other example. A few weeks ago I took SS shopping w me and he tried to show me how to use my cellphone I know how to use it.
If we go anywhere he acts like I'm a small child that he has to introduce to things.
And asserts his fake authority over me to tell me how to do things. I usually tell him sort of sharply " I know thank you. I know how to do it and walk off "
Ideas?? Anyone?

OMG...My BS (6 next month)
OMG...My BS (6 next month) started doing this about half way through the school yr (k). It is sooooo irritating! And we catch him explaining things to other people (really sucks when it is SD cuz she goes back and tells BM a lot of stuff) that he knows nothing about. I wonder if its a phase. We keep telling him I know your in school and you are really smart but you don't know everything and you need to stop telling stories that aren't true because its the same as lying and how can we trust you if you lie? He says matter of factly "you cant". We are working with him and have been working with him but as said above stay firm and direct! Hopefully its just a phase
oh jeez so lots of these
oh jeez so lots of these jokers are doing this. ugh It is so frustrating. Yesterday I pulled him outside away from Grandpa.
I said "SS I need to talk to you, come outside with me"
I talked to him about "what's going on with you? now you know that we all know that you're making things up and saying things that aren't true. It doesn't do anything positive for you. And since it doesn't and we all know that you aren't telling the truth and lying... the only conclusion that I can come to is that you're doing it to draw attention to yourself and interrupt others and gain attention. It's very frustrating esp when we know you're lying. I don't see the point. You don't need to do that to be part of the conversation, in fact when you contribute something that's NOT a lie to conversation you're contribution is appreciated more and you are actually a part of it instead of just making yourself out to be attention seeking" something like that.
I talked to SO about it after that I talked to SS. Today SS isn't talking to me LOL (good I'm tired of hearing him talk)
This morning I heard SO scream "SS get in the CAR!!! Now! I've told you about interrupting you're being rude go GET IN THE CAR NOW!!"
He was interrupting SO talking to Grandpa this morning. HA
I hope this is a phase but it is so annoying holy crap. SO has sent him to his room before when he interrupted and or made up things that obviously were not true.
yes! I'm gonna make him
yes!
I'm gonna make him help me bake a cake this week. 
I read some article today about coming up with a signal to give him when he's doing it or talking too much. That way without embarrassing him he can correct himself. IDK if that's gonna work or not but jeesh.
I never talk "down" to him I'm always kinda sweet and very soft spoken unless it's after bedtime but yeah seriously the jig is up!!!!
it's time for him to move on from this behavior
HA SO is making hm memorize
HA SO is making hm memorize this before he can play any electronics
Timing. Is this the right time to add to the conversation ?
Related. Is what I want to say related?
Accurate statement It an accurate statement
Smart question. Or a smart question.
