One of two things is occurring. Either it is a con - by the father. Note
that he has to 'interpret' everything. Or, it is random babble of a fantasy
world. If it is the second, then I doubt if this idiot is bright enough to
ask his daughter the same questions he asked her a month ago. He would find
out that the answers are different - thus made up.

: I suggest that we give him neither the encouragement of serious replies

: instead ignore him completely.

A suggestion I intend to follow in the future.
