the matter?
I was just thinking.
What, dear?
That this is how people Look...
At the end of a fairy tale.
Yeah.
Exactly.It's today! It's today!
It's today! It's today!
It's always today, George.
-I mean, this is the day.
-That's right.
-Can't I come?
-You have to go to school, George.
-Will he be here when I get home?
-I think so.
I'll play ball with him.
I'll wrestle with him.
I'll teach him how to spit.
-It's gonna be so much fun.
-For all of us.
How will you know if you
pick the right one?
I don't know. We'll...
You'll just know.
Bye, sweetie.
Remember, I want a little brother,
not a big brother.
We've been through your paperwork,
and it seems to be in order.
Adoption isn't for everyone...
...but you seem like people
with plenty of love to share.
So how are you feeling?
-Goodness, we're...
-Tingling...
With anticipation.
Recess.
Time for you to meet them.
Feel free to walk around.
They're used to having strangers.
Thank you.
Lovely people.
Nice move, Red.
Oh, Frederick, look at them.
-How could we possibly...?
-Choose? I know.
-They all seem so...
-Wonderful.
You know what's wonderful?
What's wonderful is...
...how you both know what
the other one is gonna say...
...before you even say it.
Not that it's any of my business.
Yes, that happens when you've
been together as long as we have.
From being a family.
Family. Wow.
Well...
...for a family, you've certainly
come to the right place.
I think we can find just
what you're looking for.
If you want a girl,
Susan can read French.
And Edith can tap dance
while blowing bubbles.
Or maybe you wanted a boy.
Actually, I think we were
leaning towards a boy.
Well, in that case...
...Benny can do handstands.
Andy can run 100 yards faster than
you can say, "Ready, set, go."
You certainly know
a lot about everyone.
That's what happens when you've been
here as long as I have.
Let's face it. Not everyone wants to
adopt someone like me.
You shouldn't worry about choosing.
It happens the same way every time.
First, you won't know what to do.
You'll be a bit scared.
Then you'll meet one of them.
You'll talk to him.
Somehow...
...you just know.
Are you quite certain you're prepared
to handle his uniqueness?
Oh, my, yes.
His uniqueness is a perfect fit
for the Little family.
Mr. and Mrs. Little,
we try to discourage couples...
...from adopting children
outside their own...
...species.
It rarely works out.
Well, it will in this case.
Bye, Stuart!
Bye! We'll miss you!
So what do I call you?
-Mom.
-And Dad.
We haven't told you the best news.
You have a brother.
Named George.
A brother!
-What do I call him?
-George.
Well, Stuart, here we are,
the family home.
They say every Little
can find this house.
Even if they've never been here.
It's just something inside them.
Something inside.
So would you like a tour?
I don't have any money.
That's Uncle Crenshaw, Cousin Edgar,
Grandpa Spencer.
That's Aunt Beatrice...
...and that's George, your brother.
Look, he's already happy to see me.
That's just about everybody,
except for...
Snowbell! Drop him right now!
You spit Stuart out this instant.
Stuart, are you all right?
Wait!
I'm fine.
You must never harm Stuart.
Understand?
Never, or out you'll go, Mr. Snow.
Stuart is family now.
We do not eat family members.
Mom, Dad, I'm home!
Is he here? Is my brother here?
-He certainly is.
-Where is he?
He's here. Stuart, this is George.
George, this is Stuart,
your new brother.
No. Really?
Really, George.
This is your new brother.
You look somewhat like a mouse.
Yeah, well, I am somewhat like a mouse.
I see.
I have to go.
Is it just me, or did he seem
a little disappointed?
Well, he's always a little tired
after school.
Perks up around dinnertime.
Meat loaf is delicious, dear.
Cajun.
Shall we get to know each other
a little?
George? Don't you have anything
you wanna ask Stuart?
Sure, George. Go ahead.
I'm an
