That just sounds like the kind of things adults say to make you feel better. Moody as Ezra is right now, he doesn't bother believing it.
He does pause at the word laundry, though, his thoughts instantly jumping to the food he snuck into his pockets. That food definitely won't handle being washed! And he doesn't have someplace safe he can hide it, either. "It's okay," he says quickly. "I don't need clean clothes. My clothes aren't too dirty yet!"
It's not a lie! Not by his definition!
Never mind that his "definition" is more along the lines of "look, I'm not covered in mud!"
