It was a usual day in the Simpson house. Homer was chasing Bart around the living room, Marge was making her families lunch, Lisa was making sure she had done all her homework and Maggie was flicking food across the kitchen.

Soon the sound of the bus pulling up could be heard. Marge looked out the window.

"Kids! The bus is here." Instantly Lisa closed her school bag and jogged into the kitchen to collect her lunch, then trotted happily outside and onto the bus. Bart as usual didn't come at first.

"Bart!" Marge called, but there was no response. Sighing she stepped out of the kitchen and into the living room. Homer was lying on the floor, breathlessly.

"Where's Bart? He's going to be late for school!" Marge asked quickly.

"He.went.up.stairs." Homer had obviously collapsed after Bart had out run him. Marge strode off up stairs.

"Bart! Bart where are you?" She walked across the landing and into Bart's room. The window was open and hanging from it was a rope ladder. Marge sighed again. She peered out of the window and gasped.

"Oh my god!"
