(Week 8) D'Oh!

When I was younger, my family would always sit down together in the living room at 6pm every night to watch The Simpsons. My dad used to love it and he doesn't watch it very much anymore, but my brother Henry and I still do. My brother has purchased about 8 seasons of The Simpsons and he and I can quote those lines at the drop of a hat. Even though Henry and I both live at home, we don't see each other very much because I work early in the morning when he isn't awake yet then go to school and back to work in the afternoon until about 6:30pm. By the time I get home at 7pm he is usually at work and stays there until about 11pm. Of course, I'm already in bed by the time he gets home so some days we don't see each other at all. But, I can usually bet on about 3 text messages from him during the week. Not something like, "Hey sis, hope your day is going well!" But rather, a Simpson's quote that he finds hilarious and know I will appreciate. It's the kind of show that makes you wonder, "Who comes up with this stuff?" After a long day of intellectual focus and responsibility at work and school it is so nice to come home to a show that doesn't require any kind of intelligence. At All.
