Maggie Simpson

Maggie Simpson's full name is Margaret Simpson. She is 1 year old and according to the local grocery store, in the opening sequence, costs $847.63. Her first spoken word was "Daddy." Her nemesis is Gerald, the baby with one eyebrow.

Maggie Simpson is usually seen sucking on a pacifier. But when she's had to, she has found comfort using other items.

• Fried shrimp
• Krusty pacifier
• Bart's severed finger
• Flash card
• Chess piece
• Seatbelt
• Bart doll
• Herb's nose
• A cigarette
• A dreidel
• A giant tooth
• Diamond-studded pacifier
• Drink umbrella
• Christmas cookie

Maggie Simpson is generous with her pacifier, as well. She has given it to other folks to suck on.

• Bart
• Lisa
• A bear
• Homer
• Lisa's pony
• A snake
• Mr. Burns

In some episodes of The Simpsons, Maggie Simpson is obviously more intelligent than she seems.

• Knows what a VCR remote is used for
• Spells out "E=MC sq" with toy blocks
• Communicates with bears
• Shows Lisa an "Aztec" flash card after seeing the Olmec head
• Drives Homer's car
• Spells "redrum" on blocks
• Saves Bart and Lisa from Willie
• Uses a fire extinguisher to put out curtains

Several of my favorite episodes of The Simpsons center on Maggie Simpson.

"Sweet Seymour Skinner's Badasssss Song"
Maggie's nemesis, Gerald the one-eyebrowed baby, shows himself for the first time. She scowls at him as he goes by in a baby buggy.

"Lady Bouvier's Lover"
Again we see Maggie scowling at Gerald, when Lisa explains there are no babies invited to Maggie's birthday party because she doesn't get along with them.

"Itchy & Scratchy: The Movie"
Bart is supposed to babysit Maggie, but she escapes and takes Homer's car for a spin. While driving, she cuts off another driver who makes an obscene gesture. Maggie returns the compliment.

"A Streetcar Named Marge
Maggie becomes the "prison" leader of the daycare as the babies work to retrieve their pacifiers.
