A Maggie POV fic. She seems really smart for a baby here, but this is just what I think goes through her head sometimes.
Disclaimer: I don't own any characters from The Simpsons.
Mommy took me, Bart and Lisa to the mall. The others really like it, but there's never really much there for me. I just suck my dummie and watch the world go by. Homer-he wants me to call him 'Daddy'. Why should I when the others don't- wanted to stay at home at watch something called the Super Bowl. Before we left, he just mumbled something about beer and peanuts.
We went by a shop with a giant teddy bear in the window. I was fascinated and stretched my arms out towards it, making a frustrated noise. Mommy knew exactly what I was thinking. Sometimes, I think she's a mind reader, and sometimes it's like she just doesn't have clue.
"Oh Maggie, that bear isn't for sale. Would you like a smaller one?"
Of course everyone just thinks I agree with what they say, because I can't answer them properly, but what I was thinking was No! I want the big one! If only I could talk........
So, we went into the shop and she buys me a smaller bear. He wasn't that big to her, but he was about the same size as me. I was trying to refuse him, but when I looked into his eyes, I had to hug him. He was so cute! Okay, hugging him almost suffocated me, but still, I liked him.
I wanted to go home then. I yawned, and began to cry a little.
"Aww, is my baby tired?" No, I'm just getting ready to become -as I do every night- Super Baby, fighter of crime.
"I'll just get Bart and Lisa and we'll go home okay sweetie?"
I pretended to doze a little, while I was wheeled in my buggy to the arcade to get Bart and to the pet store to get Lisa. I thought she was probably looking for an idea for a new pet since she finally got it into her head that she can't have a pony.
On the way home, I started to feel sleepy for real. Cars do that to me a lot. They drive you along smoothly-unless of course if you're driving on a street that has loads of bumps and holes- until you just drift off. I was about to close my eyes when I saw black smoke billowing out from somewhere. I heard Mommy gasp and say "Is that our house?".
When she said that I stopped myself from dropping off, and watched with the others as we drew nearer and nearer to the source of the smoke. We rounded a corner and I knew for sure it was our house.
