Oh... Yeah, that too. [Yeesh.] But kids can lie too, right?

Well, yeah, we can. But kids don't like to each other so much, I think. Like, it's normal to lie to adults to get out of trouble or something. But kids don't get a lot from lying to each other, unless you're tricking someone into giving you something I guess.

You think so...?

[Hmmm. Maybe duck kids just don't lie as much as human kids. That seems to check out, frankly.]

Well, yeah. It doesn't sound like you do, though...?

... I dunno. There's lots of reasons to lie.

There are? I can think of two.

Those ones you said? [What were they again? Oh, yeah.] Getting out of trouble, or trying to get something from somebody?

Yup, those. What are the other reasons?

[After some deliberation...]

It's a secret.

Hmm.

Are you up to something?

No.

[And there's definitely no reason to doubt that after all that's been said!]

[There is a long pause as Louie internally "HMMM"s, then.]

I think I'm going to hang up now.
