  You were probably the first person, who would back it up, to tell  him
that.  He could have been more in shock by this than anything else.  :)

   When my father was alive I  used to play one off the others: "If mother
agrees can I...." and so forth.
   I could get away with murder with my father, in whose eyes I could do no
wrong.
   But my mother was say No and that was the end of the discussion.

  Scripture is made of several types of books: history, poetry, ethics,
ritual, religion in general.
  Sometimes two or more writers will have a different take on something.
  Its like taking a report from two or three witnesses to an event.  Each
witness will describe the event in general, with a few different slants:
  He was driving a red car, she was in a blue.
  He was driving a red Ford Explorer, she in a blue Chevy Tahoe, etc.
