Jodie heard her dad come home, but she was too busy on the phone with a friend of hers to get up.  And she really didn't wanna bother with all of the comotion in the parlor.  There were too many people to deal with, and she was quite satisfied with the comfortable position she held on the sofa.  She had the entire, quiet room, and tv all to herself, able to watch whatever she wanted.  But she kept the tv low so her friend could hear Jodie speak about the new girl in her home, how things were going so far.
