Canon: Sure, all canon

Favorite Moment: "When I was your age, I pulled a few boners." Also, the scenes in church where Homer is listening to the football game as Lovejoy gives his sermon and the kids harass their Sunday School teacher with questions about heaven.

Review: Great episode. Funny lines. Classic story. Heartfelt moral. What The Simpsons should be like all the time. A
