This episode is called “Being Evasive.” Someone who is “evasive” doesn’t tell you the truth; gives you the half truth, but not the whole truth. It’s a dialogue between a daughter and her father, and the father has difficulty answering the questions of his daughter. Let’s get started.
Olivia: Dad, can I ask you a question?
Dad: You just did.
Olivia: I mean, can I ask you another question?
Dad: Ask away.
Olivia: Where do babies come from?
Dad: What? Where did you come up with that one?
Olivia: I don’t know.
Dad: Let me tell you. That’s for grown-ups to know. You’re just a pipsqueak.
