“ | You might not believe this, but I once was a baby myself. My father was a ping-pong champion. He died when the ball got stuck in his throat. The Heimlich maneuver was invented the very next day. My mother raised me alone, so I know it can be done. | „ |
~ Madam Wu |
Madam Wu was the adoption center worker who battled with Selma Bouvier when she was trying to adopt her baby.
Family[]
The only relatives of Madam Wu's that we hear about are her mother and father -- as noted above, Madam Wu's father passed away when she was just a baby (and obviously too young to remember anything about him) and her mom ended up raising her as a single parent. Remembering what her own upbringing was like is what ultimately convinces Madam Wu to allow Selma to adopt Ling as a single parent, after lying to the adoption about her brother-in-law, Homer Simpson, being her husband.[1]
Non-Canon[]
During Parental Guidance quest, Madam Wu tells Selma why Ling is painting into her wall while she spreads her smoking.[2]
