Faye was a babysitter, and Dora is a storeowner who very likely does not want to be the place where the tweens come to hang out and not buy product. Liability and being the responsible adult is a wench. My wife used to run a pet store and absolutely hated when parents used the place as a babysitter - "Just wait here and watch the pretty birds/fish dear, Mommy/Daddy will be right back after I get the groceries done."

CoD needs, and your wife's pet shop needed, the sign I saw recently on a sidewalk: "Any children left unattended will be given a double-shot mocha and a pet gerbil."

Came across this at the military vehicle shipping station in Baltimore, picking up a friends vehicle when they got back from HI;

Except she both did lie and knew she lied. Otherwise she wouldn't have said "sort of" when asked if her Dad knew where she was. While it's possible she said that to indicate her Dad doesn't think Faye and Dora are Sam's friends, even in that case, knowing his thoughts on the matter, she intentionally misled him by telling him she was hanging out with friends. She may as well have said, "Not hanging out with Dora and Faye."
Also, given my vast experience with teenage girls, I guarantee you her "I am so emotionally damaged by what you have said to me with your words" response in the last panel is just classic puppy eyes guilt-trip material, not an indication of genuine hurt.
Method of Madness:
If so, Jim should know better than to accept such a vague answer, then.
Welu:
I'd say Sam, like many sitcom style teenagers, explained where they're going as they were running out the door. Also that's assuming she left home while Jim was home or she was at work with him.
