"Um, no one's ever taught me to fight," Peter said. Which wasn't actually the answer to the question she asked. But he wasn't at all keen to say, 'Yes, in fact I spend my days trapezing across New York and fighting petty criminals in bad outfits', which would be the real answer.

Hopefully she wouldn't realise that. He didn't want to tell the truth, but he always felt like crap when he had to actually lie.
