Goofs

• This episode is one of the many that explain how Lisa got her pearl necklace, showing that Marge gave it to Lisa during her first day at school. However this is contradicted by many other episodes. For example, During Barthood, there's a scene that takes place after Lisa's first month at school, and she's not wearing her pearls yet. During Boy Meets Curl, Lisa mentions that her pearls were a gift by Marge when she could first read at the twelfth grade level, and during Lisa's First Word, baby Lisa is already wearing her pearl necklace.
• During the Flashback, there's a picture of Lisa, Bart and Maggie on the wall, but it's likely that Maggie wasn't even born when the flashback takes place.

D'oh!
