30 Times Lisa Simpson, a Cartoon Child, Was You, a Real-Life Adult
Even though she's technically only 8 years old, Lisa Simpson might be the most emotionally mature character on The Simpsons. She's whip-smart, she's responsible, and she cares deeply about her education and making the world a better place. Lisa is a Buddhist, feminist, and vegetarian who once sat in a tree so builders couldn't cut it down — she's basically a Brooklyn hipster in a tiny yellow body. She gets frustrated with the complexities and banality of daily life — just like you. Despite her age (and the fact she's, um, a cartoon character), it's totally normal to feel a kinship with Lisa; like she really, truly gets you. Here are 30 times you related to Lisa Simpson in a very real way.
