Also, I could see a guy not wanting to print or say that his mother threatened him with a hammer.  In terms of the context the story provides, it really doesn't matter if he was the one holding the hammer.

Again, its a useless story except to make his turn around that much bigger.  Something *I* don't think was necessary for his story.  He had to at least share it for the editors to include it or alter it in some way.
