Grandpa Van Houten Thanks, son. Ya think Milhouse might want to camp out in the backyard with his ol' gramps tonight?
Kirk Oh, I'm sure he'd love that. You'll just need to tuck him into his snuggle bag...

Grandpa Van Houten Great! Now let's see. What story should I tell? Ah, of course...
Grandpa Van Houten There was this young boy from Shelbyville. Or...was it a girl? Oh, no, I remember. It wasn't a boy or a girl...
