Dialogue[edit]

After tapping on Maggie's exclamation mark:
Maggie - Up Arms *suck* *suck*
Marge - Happy Oh, you want to go for a walk with Mommy? That's one job I'd love to do!
Bart - Confused Wait, I'm sure I've seen you carrying her around town before.
Marge - Sad That was just a sack of flour.
Lisa - Curious And all those Mommy & Me classes?

Task: "Make Marge Take Maggie for a Walk". The job takes 8 hours.
Marge - Happy It's so much nicer carrying a real baby than a flour baby. Finally I can show you off to all the gluten-free moms!

Task: "Make Homer Spit Take". The job takes 6 seconds.

Pt. 4[edit]

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark

Marge - Happy But then I found out about preschools, where children learn to paint, clap their hands and listen to music.
Lisa - Nagging But isn't preschool just the same thing as daycare?
Marge No sweetie, they have different names -- one which sounds like we're good parents, and one which sounds like we're lazy.

Mrs. Sinclair Are you threatening to let that happen again if I don't let Maggie into our school?
Homer - Sarcastic I wasn't. Should I?
Mrs. Sinclair No, we would never kowtow to the threat of violence. We do however kowtow to the threat of stupidity.
Mrs. Sinclair The only way we can ensure someone with as dangerously inept a parent as yourself doesn't become dangerously inept herself is to educate her.

Homer Now that that's clarified, can you explain everything else that happened in the video?
Carl No. But if anyone asks me at a dinner party, I'm going to say yes so that people don't think I'm stupid.
