I remember one of the kids calling another kid a “piss-ant” in the Homecoming. Then we all got into trouble with the 5th grade teacher when we started to use the word in school. ---

I recently got around to watching this on YouTube. I had been watching reruns of the series not too long ago on one of the retro channels, so seeing same characters play the kids and the Grandma but the other adults be different actors was a weird alternate universe feeling. > [@notfrommensa](#): > > I remember one of the kids calling another kid a “piss-ant” in the Homecoming.
