I pulled a Homer! July 22, 2008

So, this past weekend the family watched “The Simpsons Movie”. The girls loved it, and can’t stop quoting it. I became obsessed with “Spider Pig”. So imagine my glee when I saw that Dina had a little red plastic piggy bank in her room!

“Kids! Look at me! Look at me!” I shouted from the top of the kitchen counter as I slid the pig along the ceiling.

“What are you doing?” Bassie asked?

“Ohhh!!! Spider Pig! That’s funny!” Dina laughed. “Let me try!”

So they did. Then Bassie handed the pig back to me. “Uh, Mommy…” she said, pointing at the top of the kitchen wall.

Spider Pig had left little red marks all along the wall, like a good little Spider Pig. They came out with some mildly abrasive cleanser, but my embarrassment at doing precisely what Homer did will be harder to scrub away.
