** When Lisa threatens to sneak out, Marge reminds her that thanks to Bart, she's perfectly aware of any escape routes in the house. Sure enough, Lisa immediately tries to slide down a tree near her window... and Marge is ready with a laundry basket to trap her, pointing out Bart did that at ''seven years old.''
** When Lisa sends her manuscript in to a publisher, she receives a letter politely declining; however talented she is, she's still ''eight years old'' and outright admitted this was her first attempt, plus not much non-''children's'' publishers typically pick up novels written by a kid.

* CantGetAwayWithNuthin: Lisa threatens to sneak out to see Juliet when Marge bars her; Marge bluntly points out that, being the mother of Bart, she has a particularly keen eye if she needs to watch out for troublemakers. Sure enough, when Lisa tries to slide down a tree near her window, Marge is ready with a laundry basket, pointing out Bart tried exactly that at 7 years old. In other words, she has the misfortune of being the kid to follow Bart, meaning anything he did, Marge and Homer would protect Lisa from doing... for better or worse.
