Purportedly, years back my parents arrived at a hotel only to learn from the clerk that their reservation had been recorded in error, and they only had a room with a single twin bed available.
My father: “That’s okay; we stack.”
Que instant upgrade to some luxury suite complete with large, round bed and ceiling mirror.
Though I doubt Joyce’s parents can (or would) provide such accommodations.
Maybe she doesn’t want them to be disappointed that she didn’t go to Africa on a missionary mission. But she could tell them she’s fighting aliens, which sounds more important.
I’m pretty sure she very much can’t tell them she’s fighting aliens. All she can tell them is that she didn’t go to Africa but she’s … doing something really important she can’t talk about. Which sounds very much like “My lie has come undone, and I don’t have enough time to come up with a new one.”
Ha ha ha, sounds like someone must have had some kind of unconditional love from their parents or something. Being a “good daughter” is all about their perception of you, not who you actually are. Silly!

You call that bed made? I see at least four wrinkles.
It’s also a Japanese double =p (that is, barely a twin)

That bed looks way too small for two people to share comfortably.

Seriously, if DoA is any guide, the dorm beds at IU are like twice that size.
They’re at least the dorm regulation “Twin XL” size you never see in the furniture stores.
Clearly it’s a passive-aggressive attempt by Carol to get her daughter to “boff” someone, as Sal would say.
That bed looks way too small for *Joe* to sleep in comfortably.
Pretty sure it’s not a bed meant for sleeping.
Not if they’re on top of each other.
Which I think is the point.
I don’t really get how Joyce thinks continuing to lie to her parents instead of coming clean makes her a “good daughter”.
Maybe she doesn’t want them to be disappointed that she didn’t go to Africa on a missionary mission. But she could tell them she’s fighting aliens, which sounds more important.
But – but – but the Bible keeps telling us that we’re supposed to WELCOME the aliens!

Then again, so does saying she’s fighting aliens.

Ahaha whose parents actually support their adult kids’ life choices? That’s just a movie myth!
…right?
It doesn’t make her one. It keeps her parents thinking that she is one.
