"''"Who ever doesn't get his or her butts over here pronto, will go without dessert!"

"

―Marge Simpson

Eating Dinner (which initially aired in the United States of America on July 12, 1987) is the seventh Simpsons short.

Plot

When attempting to call the family for dinner, Marge gets ticked off, as the family do not arrive. However, upon the threat that anyone who does not arrive goes without dessert, the family quickly scoot to the table. She then points out the family forgot to say grace before eating. Homer conducts grace while Maggie innocuously looks around the room, and Marge comments that the family could do with learning manners, as they are all slurping their soup. She then tells them that dinner should not be eaten in silence and be a time of communication, so Homer suggests Bart fetch the television, which they all watch as the short ends. And this sucks

Trivia
