Who knew JFK had such an active imagination? "My father was spectacular at making up stories," Caroline Kennedy says in an interview with Parade, in tomorrow's Post. "He said there was a purple shark that used to follow [presidential yacht] the Honey Fitz. It liked to eat socks. My father would make people throw their socks overboard, and they'd disappear. He'd say, Did you see the purple shark? He ate the socks!' Those stories were fantastic." (We're not sure how fantastic socks are for aquatic life, but ... ) Kennedy discussed the tale to promote the book "Jacqueline Kennedy: Historic Conversations on Life With John F. Kennedy."
