Synopsis
Homer and Marge say good night to the kids although what they say to them makes them worried instead of going to sleep. It is the oldest episode of the Simpsons.
Plot
Homer tucks Bart into bed, saying good night to him. Bart asks him what is "the mind" and how it works. Homer replies that it is not something to be worried about although Bart ends up worried about it while Homer switches off the lights.
Marge tucks Lisa into bed, saying good night to her and also tells her to slept tight as well as not to let the bed bugs bite. The latter which worries Lisa, thinking bed bugs are harmful while Marge turns off the lights.
Marge then sings Rock-a-bye Baby to Maggie, which Maggie then imagines she is in a crib on a tree and falling down endlessly in the course of the song. Marge eventually says sweet dreams to a worried Maggie before switching off the light in her room.
Homer and Marge go to their bed, thinking they are the best parents in the world for presumably having the kids ready to sleep soundly. They come to Homer and Marge's bedroom, both frantic about what they said. Bart worried about "the mind", Lisa worried about bed bugs and Maggie non verbally the Rock-a-bye Baby song. Homer and Marge lets the kids sleep with them and are able to sleep.
