September 8th

First day of school

The sound of a vacuum choaking on wet noodles echoed through the Simpsons kitchen, as Marge was serving cereal to Homer, and Bart.

"Don't you think you should be eating a more balanced breakfast than those fatty frosting gobs?" Marge inquired.

"Meh." Bart answered. But… MEH! He yelled again.

Marge let out a depressing sigh. She knew if Bart didn't find a way to be more responsible, he would not do well enough in school to get a good career. The sound of a screeching bus muffler halted her thought. Bart ran out of the house with Frosting Gobbs falling out of his mouth, alongside Lisa.

She yelled, "Lisa, have fun! Bart stay out of trouble! Bye, kids!"

The rustling echo of pebbles crashing into the bottom of the bus spread through the air as Bart prepared for another meaningless day of school.

"Look!" Bart yelled, as a gray rat ravaged through the bus weaving past the seat support.

Almost everyone was watching as the rat fled into the space in between the seat and the wall. Nelson was ill aware that it had quietly scurried into his lunch sack, but no one bothered to say a word.

The group arrived at school to report to a science assembly in the main Gym.

"A science assembly? What the hell is that!" Bart hollered, as he and millhouse were taken to a viewing room to ensure they would not interfere, with a few of the usual troublemakers.

As the instructor went on about light bulbs, Bart and company plotted a way out of the assembly.

"And that is why light bulbs explode!" said the science instructor. The silence would only be broken with a yawn, and the sound of Bart and co. rampaging at the door, until it shattered. They ran up to the guest and repeatedly smashed his items onto the table, all except for Nelson, who let out his trademark "HA HA!" Sounds of giggling and laughter filled the air as the group fled the auditorium.

At this convenient time Principal Skinner entered the auditorium, expecting to see his show running smooth, but that was far from what he saw.

"Who is responsible!" he hollered as he found his production in complete agony.

"When I find the student or faculty member responsible, I will make them do the one thing no one would ever want to do. Represent the school basketball team!" A deadly silence filled the room, the only spec of noise a toilet flushing in the background.

"An immediate search patrol will be sent out as soon as possible, Seymour." Mrs Krabbapel said.

"Yes, but before we start this patrol sort of thing of yours, I want to see if something works, first." Seymour answered.

As school began, the students and faculty stood for the daily announcements.

"Wednesday is cocktail weenie day, the school is now 18,000 dollars in debt, and would Bart Simpson report to the princopals office, please." …. NOW!

As Bart scampered down the hallway, he plotted his usual excuse.

"I was in the bathroom!" he said.

Without listening any further, Principal Skinner asked Bart a simple question.

"Bart, Do you want to confess now and get 2 weeks detention, or lie and get 8 weeks detention?" Skinner asked.

"What about tell the truth, and get no detention, because I was In the BATHROOM!" He screamed. Bart may have used the same excuse he uses every time, but this time, he knew three things. 1, he was telling the truth, 2, Skinner wasn't going to believe him, and 3, he had just become a laughing stock because Principal had forgotten to turn off the speaker to the whole school, meaning everyone just heard he had to tinkle so bad, he missed one of the great pranks in a good while.
