That little bit about her body building probably came from "Strong Arms of the Ma", if it was even said at all. --Nick97 (talk ~ contribs) 22:40, 10 September 2012 (EDT)

The Bart's Girlfriends template & category and the "Recurring Characters" category

I have a couple of things to say about some minor details of Laura's article. First, I think I shall start with the "Bart's girlfriends" category and template:

Oftentimes, people refer Laura as to Bart's girlfriend. I disagree with this statement for two reasons: the first reason is that Laura is about five/six years older than Bart, who is only a child, and she used figurative speech at the end of "New Kid on the Block" to tell Bart that she likes him, albeit he is too young for her (i.e. the only thing restricting a relationship between them was their age difference). When referring to common knowledge, ten year old boys do not have girlfriends. That would not make her Bart's "girlfriend". Personally, I think they are cute together (I had to admit it), despite the age gap, but I'm going back on topic. If there is going to be any rectification to the article (generally all of the articles pertaining them), the respective category and template "Bart's girlfriends" should both be replaced/edited to say "Bart's crushes".

As for the "Recurring characters" category, I also would like to make some comments about it: the word "recurring" actually means for something to oftentimes occur. Since Laura only played one major role in the series, I would categorize her under "One-time characters". When I think of that category, I think not only of characters who only appeared in the show once, I also think of characters who only once had a noticeable role in The Simpsons, which Laura (and I think Bart's other crushes) had, if you think of it.

I'll leave all of you to discuss this idea here. :) Gazlene the Pork Girl (talk) 19:25, March 24, 2014 (EDT)

What you say about being his girlfriend it true. We probably should remove that. As for the recurring character thing, she made cameo appearances in another episode and the movie and an appearance in a comic story as well as three books. Therefore, she is recurring.
