He believes that her favorite food is Chicken [=McNuggets=] knowing full well that she's a vegetarian and has been for some time, her favorite "book" is magazines and her best friend is Maggie, a voiceless baby. Moreso, his other gift for her is a turkey, he ''falls asleep while recording the dialogue'' and had to be woken up by Bart and [[UpToEleven even the picture he chose for Lisa isn't a good one]] (she looks like she's going to throw up.)
