The Simpson kids are finally living up the promise of the Simpson family legacy.

This isnt the first time the Simpsons have thought Bart is a budding sociopath.

She saw a budding career delinquent when he shoplifted a Bonestorm video game.

His mother also worried when Bart killed a bird with a BB gun.
