"I said we were. He was in the living room with me, painting some chairs, but I probably would have given the same answer if I'd been alone"

In this passage Jack is speaking to his mother Rosemary. She asks Jack if he is getting along with her new husband Dwight. Jack lies and tells his mother that he is. I ask my self why is it that Jack has to lie to his mom and not just say the truth? Is there a reason behind it? Is he protecting something from his mom? Well i think that he just doesn't want to ruin his moms relationship with Dwight. i think that since he knows that his mom really likes Dwight, he doesn't want his mom to have to worry about what is going on between them two.
