what is it mean of “squirm out of it”
I am reading diary of wimpy kid(Diary of a Wimpy Kid - Book 1). But when I read to this page. I get stuck about like that
I told Mom there was no WAy we were taking Manny with us, because we were going to hit 152 houses in three hours. And plus, we were going to be on Snake Road, which is way too dangerous for a little kid like Manny.
I should never have mentioned that last part, because the next thing I knew, Mom was telling Dad he had to go along with us to make sure we didn’t step foot outside our neighborhood. Dad tried to squirm out of it, but once Mom makes up her mind, there’s no way you can change it.
What is meaning of "Dad tried to squirm out of it" in this situation?
Thank you
