"Homer!" Bart cried, "How can you teach a whole class of children 4th grade work for a week? We all know you're the dumbest thing that has ever walked the planet! Aye Curumba!"
"Now Bart, don't you think you're being a bit harsh?" Homer asked, then all of a sudden he let out an extremely girly giggle and said, "Flying feather ball!" and chased a bird around the school for a while. "It's gonna be a long week Milhouse!" Bart said to his friend.
"Oh think of all the fun we'll have!" exclaimed Homer in the car on the way home, "You can be teacher's pet, we'll have surprise tests every morning before first period. If a student doesn't finish something, I won't make them do it for homework. They can stay in at recess, and much, much more!" He went on like this for a while until Bart finally lost his temper and said, "Don't you get it? I don't want you to be my teacher! You're embarrassing and the only upside of school for me is that you're not there!" All of the colour drained from Homer's face and he said quietly, "My own boy is ashamed of me, I'm sorry Bart." And they drove home in silence.
At home Bart was sitting on his bed playing with his Krusty the Clown toy feeling really bad, when Lisa bursted in and said, "Thanks for letting me know that dad was picking us up, I caught the bus for noth- Bart what's wrong?" Lisa sat down next to Bart as he replied, "I yelled at dad, when he was trying to bond with me," They sat in silence for a while and then Lisa asked, "Well why?"
"He's my substitute teacher next week..." Bart replied in a small voice. Lisa let out a loud obnoxious laugh and eventually stopped when she noticed Bart was getting uncomfortable, "It sounds to me like you need to apologise him, how long exactly is he teaching for?" she asked. "A whole week" Bart told her. "Well that, umm, isn't... that bad," Lisa said, "but what is bad is you and dad not talking to each other." Bart looked at her and replied, "Yeah, thanks Lisa, I think I will talk to him!"
"Hey Homer," Bart said as he went down to the kitchen, "look I'm sorry, I would... love you to be my sub next week," Homer looked at Bart and replied, "Oh this is going to be great, boy, you and me, against the school, no, the world! He he he!" The moment Homer had said this, Bart knew he regretted his decision.
