Rather than answering "yes" or "no" to questions he is uncomfortable with, Cody tries to sidestep confrontation by saying "a little bit". It's his way of avoiding getting caught with his hand in the cookie jar, so to speak.
Allow me to share some actual dialogue.
Me- Have you been picking at your socks, Code?
Cody- A little bit.
Me- Gross Cody! Are you drinking the pool water?!!
Cody- A little bit.
Don- Do you have the death grip on my arm?
Cody- A little bit.
Me- Did you just sit on the Speak and Spell?
Cody- Yes I did...a little bit.
Me- Did you just call Zach, Nate?
Cody- A little bit.
It seems to me that Cody uses the phrase "a little bit" A LOT more than a little bit. :)
