D is for...

D is for D'oh!!

Aside from the fact that I didn't post this one yesterday (I'm not even going to try with E tonight), but D'oh has been brought into my daily vocabulary by Mr. Homer Simpson. Of course, Jeremy is most responsible for the Simpsons love in the house.

We own every single season that has come out thus far. And before that, we would watch the Simpsons at least once a night...more likely twice. Jeremy could tell which episode it was by the first few lines...nowadays so can I. I'm not so good to know what season it comes from (which Jeremy can also tell by the lead-in), so I will still ask every now and again. Ethan's already gotten into the show as well...he'll laugh independently at it and say, "Silly Homer!"

But one other great thing about the Simpsons is that they were so easy to use in the classroom! When I was a teacher, it was pretty rare that I was looking for an example for something and didn't turn to the Simpsons. And, since it gets re-run so much, it was something the kids were familiar with...unlike the rest of my 80's pop culture references. (Please...nothing makes you feel older than trying to explain to a room full of kids who Hall and Oates are...)

And yes, we saw the movie, in a digital theater, and took Ethan with us. :)
