** Marge tries to console Lisa by telling her a story from her childhood about how she wanted to be an astronaut, but her sisters told her women can't be astronauts because they'd "Distract the men."

Marge finishes her story by saying her sisters were wrong because there are women astronauts... and that she was wrong about the living on the moon part. Lisa is not amused, especially since Marge misses the point of her own story which would've been more uplifting if she had become an astronaut herself.

When the results of Bart's vocational survey suggest he'd make a great cop and Lisa learns her dreams of becoming a professional sax player are doomed by genetics (she has stubby fingers, which would make saxophone playing impossible, even though she doesn't exhibit any problems), their roles at Springfield Elementary are reversed: Bart becomes a hall monitor who cracks down on school misbehavior while Lisa becomes a rebel who smokes with the bad kids, gets detention, and pulls off a teachers' edition textbook heist that could get her expelled.
