What Peter didn't know was the in a different universe was a world much like his own. It had people just like in Quahog. In one the cities of this universe lay Springfield, a nuclear-powered town with friendly folk. In a small neighborhood had the house of Homer Simpson. Just like Peter, Homer was just finishing breakfast with his family.
Homer shoved a big waffle into his mouth. "Homer cut your food," said Homer's wife, Marge, "We're in no rush."
Homer got up and shoved a sausage down his throat, "That's easy for you to say. Bart and Lisa have to go to school, I have to go to work, and you get to stay home and whatever the hell you want! Goddamn it, I'm late."
Marge gave him a hug and he marched out the door. Marge looked at the kids as they scraped the food off their plates, "You kids get dressed. I'll get you to school." "Yeah, yeah, yeah," replied Bart as he grabbed his lucky red cap.
Before they knew it, they were driving to school. Everyone was quiet, so Marge decided to start up some conversation, "Y'know, Lisa, I heard they opened up the new art gallery over at the museum." "I've seen it already," answered Lisa. That conversation didn't last long, so Marge tried talking to Bart, "Bart, would you like to go with me to the book store later on?" "Take me to the toy store and we'll talk," said Bart.
Marge pulled over next to Springfield Elementary School. Bart and Lisa got out without a word. "Wait! Wait! Aren't you gonna give me a hug and kiss good-bye?" asked Marge. Bart turned around, "Mom, what do you think I am? Gay?" After the kids rushed into class, Marge sadly drove off.
Once she got caught at a stop light, she spun around to Maggie, "Maggie, can Mommie hug you?" Maggie then shook her head to say no.
Marge sadly sat in the driver's seat. Nobody in this family appreciates me, she thought. After the light turned green, she sadly drove off.
