“Maybe I've spoiled the boys a bit. They've never had to do any chores. I guess I want them to be able to enjoy their childhood while they still can.”
— Jodi
Jodi is a villager who lives in Pelican Town. She lives at 1 Willow Lane with her husband Kent (who is away serving in the military until the first of Spring Year 2) and two sons, Sam and Vincent.

“*puff* ...hi (name)! *pant* Whew... that was quite a workout, walking all the way up here. Anyway... I came by to ask if you wanted to have dinner with us tonight! You don't have to... but if you decide to come, could you please bring a largemouth bass with you? ...that's right. One of those big, slimy fish from the lake. I need one for the casserole I'm making. Okay, well... it'll be at our house at around 7:00 PM tonight... don't forget the largemouth bass! Bye.”

Quotes

First Meeting
“
“Oh! You aren't exactly how I imagined... but that's okay! I'm Jodi.
It's a quiet little town, so it's very exciting when someone new moves in! Having a farmer around could really change things.”
Regular
“
“Maintaining a household is difficult work... but somebody has to do it. Yes?”
“
“Exercise is important for staying healthy. I always make sure to set aside some time for it. As a parent, I don't have much time to devote to myself. So I try and make every minute count.”
“
“I wish I could spend more time outside, but there's so much work to do.
I started wearing rubber gloves to keep my hands soft. The older you get, the more work you have to do to stay healthy. Ok, bye!”
“
“What did you say? It's [current time] already? My goodness! I still have tons of work to do!”
“
“So you're a farmer, huh? Interesting. I've never met a farmer before. Maybe some day you can teach me how to grow vegetables.”
“
“The food at JojaMart might not be the healthiest for my family, but with such low prices you'd be crazy to shop anywhere else!”
“
“Hi. Need something?”
“
“I'm so glad you're trying to improve that old farm. Once you've got everything in order, it's going to add a lot to our community! It's going to be a lot of work for you, though. Bye.”
“
“I'm taking a break from house chores today. I'm taking the day off. If I don't spend any time outside, I'll go crazy! Plus I don't want my legs to turn soft.”
“Hi... did you sell [item] to the general store the other day? I think I bought it... It was pretty high-quality stuff. As soon as I smelled it I was back in Granny's old cottage...”
“My husband Kent is a soldier, working overseas. That's why he's not here right now. I know he'll come back safe once his tour is over! Need something?”
“
“Yesterday I visited Yoba's Altar to ask for my husband's safe return. I'm trying to stay positive, but it's hard sometimes.”
After Kent's return
“
“Kent has been home for a while now, but he still seems uneasy.”
“How's Sam doing? I have to admit, there's less cooking and cleaning to do since he moved out...”
6+ Hearts
“
“It's nice to have a family... but I'd be lying if I said I never long for the freedom of youth...”
“
“Where does all the time go? *sigh* I remember when Sam was a little baby wearing diapers. He was such a cute little kid. Don't tell him I said that. You must really like talking to me, huh?”
“
“*sigh*... Sometimes I dream about life on my own... without a family to look after. Is that horrible? Don't tell anyone.”
8+ Hearts
“
“I had a dream that I had complete freedom, no obligation to anyone but myself...
...Then I woke up and realized I had a full day of house chores ahead of me...”
“
“We kind of rushed into our marriage, with Kent being a soldier and all... I hardly got a taste of youth and freedom, and now it's too late to ever go back. Just don't make the same mistake.”
Summer
“
“Summer is nice, but it also means more work. I'll have to keep the garden in shape on top of working in the house!”
“
“Hello. Do you need something? I'm a little busy.”
“
“Housework is frustrating because you're never finished. The day after I sweep the floor, it's dirty again.”
“
“What in the world am I going to make for dinner? *sigh*...”
Fall
“
“Maybe I've spoiled the boys a bit. They've never had to do any chores. I guess I want them to be able to enjoy their childhood while they still can. Well, Sam's basically a man now, though. I hope he hasn't grow up to be lazy. That won't do. Being a parent isn't very easy.”
“
“Caroline and I are good friends. I tell her everything.”
“
“When you become a parent, you have to leave your old lifestyle behind. Maybe that's not entirely true... but if you're not careful, it will happen.”
Winter
“
“I loved playing in the snow when I was a kid. The great thing about being a mother is that I get to enjoy it again.”
“
“Hi. Do you get tired of people asking about your farm all the time? I think I would.”
“
“What do I do for fun? Hmm... That'a a good question. I like sleeping.”
“
“Sam makes a lot of noise with that music of his. I hope it doesn't disturb the neighbors.”
“
“It would be nice to take a vacation once in a while...”
“
“If I was rich the first thing I'd do would be to hire a maid and a chef. My goodness, that would be nice!”
At Ginger Island
“
“What a treat!”
“
“The view is breathtaking! Deep blue as far as the eye can see...”
