The next morning, the Simpson family became very non dysfunctional. Meg just wished this was her natural family, she still hoped she could get Sharri to pay a visit to Rhode Island and maybe change her family. Everyone wore their best clothes as they shared English delicassies known as kippers and blood pudding.

"I believe my work here is done." Sharri smiled to the family she had been taking care of for a while.

"Thank you for everything." Marge was grateful to had known the woman.

"We'll miss you, Sharri Bobbins." Bart, Lisa, and Meg said together happily.

"You've changed me as well," Homer smiled. "I'm no longer the money driven workaholic I once was."

"I love you all." Sharri smiled to them, going off.

"Oh, Ms. Bobbins!" Meg piped up. "Could you please, please, please make a visit to Quahog, Rhode Island someday? PLEASE! It would mean so much to me if you did!"

Sharri looked back to her with a smile. "I'll work it into my schedule, Megan."

"Neat, now Meg's family can have the Sharri Bobbins treatment!" Lisa cheered for her pen pal.

Sharri smiled to them, waving to them and they waved back and she went off to go to her new location. However, the instant she left, it seemed like everyone reverted back to the way things were before. Marge trembled as her hair fell out, Homer strangled Bart, Lisa banged a wooden spoon on a pan, Maggie was trying to put out a fire caught onto the curtain, and Meg looked depressed.

"How could this happen so fast!?" Meg gasped, she was affected too, but she was surprised with herself and the family.

Sharri sighed, she gently patted Meg on the head and saw she couldn't leave the Simpsons like this. "I'll just unpack my things."

"I think we got our umbrellas switched!" Abe called as he was flying away with the umbrella.

Sharri did in fact stay, but the magic didn't seem to last like it did the last time. The others seemed to had been taking advantage of Sharri's kindness and generosity.


"Little more... Little more... Little more..." Bart repeated as Sharri tended to put pepper on his dinner, but then he said, "Too much, take it back."

Sharri sighed and took his plate.

"Bart, don't you think that was a little unnecessary?" Meg glanced at him as she ate her food with no problem.

"Shh," Homer shushed her, at least he didn't say 'Shut up, Meg'. "TV."

Meg sighed as they watched a program called 'Before They Were Famous', showing celebrities before they became well-known. She wasn't used to watching something on TV that wasn't an old sitcom her parents grew up with or the news with Tom Tucker and Diane Simmons.

"Sharri Bobbins, I want another beer." Homer raised his empty bottle as the woman came back from the kitchen, similar to how Marge was treated before they hired the nanny.

"Well, you know, Homer..." Sharri said to him, cueing in music for her to sing.

Meg sighed as Sharri sang and Homer still demanded his beer and not a random song. She still had to admit though, Homer was a more decent human being compared to her father, Peter. She then looked to the TV as Charles Bronson replaced Andy Griffith.

Meg went to check the mail after eating while Bart and Lisa just wanted to lie around. Lisa watched TV with a juice box while Bart flung cupcakes in his room. She saw there was no mail for her for some reason and she felt even more ignored. Didn't anyone in her family miss her? She heard Sharri crying and walked into the living room.

"What did you guys do to her?" Meg asked.

"Well, I told her I'd rather fling cupcakes in my room..." Bart started.

"And I've already seen enough of the world." Lisa finished.

Meg sighed. "What happened to you guys? Sharri Bobbins used to be the best thing that's ever happened to either one of us!"

"Stop talking like that... You're making me feel... Weird..." Bart winced as he talked back to the girl. "Bad weird."

"It's called guilt, Bart," Lisa told her older brother. "Meg's right though..."

"You guys crushed her, we all have to make it up to her, I don't want her to give up on her position in this world, I may not be from Springfield, but I think it's better with a perky and happy Sharri Bobbins." Meg smiled at her friends.

"It's not her fault," Marge walked in then to see them. "We're going to apologize, but it's not her fault, it is in fact our own."

"Oh, Mrs. Simpson, don't put yourselves down like that." Meg looked to her.

"Marge is right, Megan," Homer replied, explaining. "We're a crazy, mixed-up family..."

"Talk with Sharri, please... I don't want her to destroy herself just because of you guys." Meg pleaded her host family.

"We'll see what we can do, dear..." Marge soothed, gently patting the girl on the head.


Later on, the Simpsons went to comfort Sharri. It wasn't her fault and she didn't fail them as their nanny, but its just how the family was. Meg smiled that everything was now working out for everyone and Sharri was starting to cheer up.

'Dear, Mom and Dad,

It's me, Meg, I just thought I'd tell you how things were going on in the Simpsons house. As you probably couldn't tell, I survived the underbelly of the world that was Kamp Krusty with Bart and Lisa and now survived with a new nanny... I hope she stops by Quahog sometime soon, her name is Sharri Bobbins. See you guys a couple of weeks before school starts.

Love, Meg'

Meg smiled as she mailed the envelope to Rhode Island. However, unfortunately for her, no one would ever see Sharri Bobbins again. The woman flew up with her umbrella, but got hit by a speeding plane.
