The Practice

The Practice is an episode of Little Bill.

Plot[]

One morning, Brenda explains to Little Bill that after school he will have to attend April's basketball practice instead of coming straight home because Alice the Great has a dentist's appointment and can't look after him. Little Bill thinks he will be bored at the game and doesn't like having his routine disrupted, but April promises to take good care of him.

At the gym, April gives Little Bill the usual snack Alice the Great makes for him-- apple juice and peanut butter on crackers-- and gives him a new coloring book to pass the time. After he finishes his snack and the book, Little Bill gets interested in watching April play basketball, and even offers to help the coach clean up the court after practice. April helps her brother score his first basket, and he admits it wasn't as boring as he thought it would be.

In bed, Little Bill started to remember what he did today. He played with April’s basketball and he promised he’d take care of it. And then he chanted to himself about playing in a basketball game. Afterwards April asks Little Bill who he’s talking to but Little Bill laughs as the episode ends.

Trivia[]

This is the only time where April asks Little Bill who he’s talking to at the end of the episode.
