We talked about that. Rereading it, it was clear that the story was true, but Martha was mad the two lied about going fishing. Jonathan stresses the part about her not getting mad that they lied about going fishing.
Here's the start of the story when he mentions he's breaking a sacred trust and asks if she remembers the fishing trip.
Here's where the in story Clark admits that they're lying to her about fishing.
Here, Jonathan stresses he's not supposed to be telling her the story and again reinterates he's sorry for lying about going fishing to go on space adventures.
And here when she says "Thank you for lying to me when I need it".
Now, you could see this as her saying the whole story is a lie, but seeing the context from before, it seems more like she's thanking him for keeping the secret and revealing it now.
It also is likely true as Jonathan adds details to the story he couldn't know unless it's true (Clark's technobabble explanations of how the ship works, Clark's previous experiences with Sun Eaters, etc) indicate it's true.
