He's in the "I don't know" phase. I think that means anything he says or does has somewhere between 0 and 6 meanings, and none of them are probably real. Just be still. Maybe, just maybe, you made him think.
When they want to twist what you say, there's not a thing you can do about it. They have to make anything you do, or say, fit the picture they have in their head. There are not enough brain cells working for them to actually consider that may not be reality.
