"Are ya ready for the airplane?" Lois Griffin said, holding a spoonful of baby food out to her son Stewie.
Stewie knocked the spoon out of Lois's hand. It fell to the floor with a clatter. "I guess Kobe Bryant must have been riding on that airplane!" he said.
"Stewie, that's a terrible thing to say!" Lois exclaimed. "Ya shouldn't make fun of a tragedy like that. Now go ahead an' eat your lunch."
"I don't want that tasteless slop," Stewie pouted. "I want ice cream!"
"You can have ice cream after dinner tonight," said Lois.
"Damn you, vile woman! I want my ice cream now!" Stewie's face was turning red. He was working himself up for a tantrum.
Then Meg came in. "Mom, have you seen my pink hat?"
"You mean the one that looks like a condom?" Stewie said, but no one heard him.
Lois sighed. "I washed all your clothes this morning an' put 'em in your dresser drawers."
"Well, I just looked in all my drawers, and my hat wasn't in any of them," said Meg.
"Look, I've got my hands full with Stewie here," said Lois. "If ya can't find your hat in your room, go down an' look in the laundry room."
Meg went to the laundry room to search for her hat. She opened the washing machine, but it was empty. The dryer was too. Meg looked in all the laundry baskets. She pushed the machines out from the wall to make sure it hadn't fallen behind them. She even lay down on the floor and peered underneath the machines, but her hat was not to be found anywhere.
Meg was about to leave, when she decided to check inside the washing machine one last time. She opened the door and stuck her head inside.
Suddenly her feet slipped, and she found herself falling, being pulled forward by some unseen force.
She landed in a pile of snow.
Meg got to her feet and looked around. She was in an unfamiliar forest, and snowflakes were falling all around her.
"Where am I?" Meg wondered. "And where did all this snow come from? It's the middle of summer!"
Just then, she heard a noise behind her. She turned and saw what looked like a man with the legs of a goat. He had horns on his head, but Meg couldn't see the horns as yet because the creature was wearing a hat- the very hat Meg had lost!
"Welcome to Narnia," he said. "I'm Mr. Tumnus."
