The following story is inspired by the Simpsons episode " Lost Our Lisa " (Season 9, Episode 24), where Lisa's intellectual curiosity leads her on a solo journey across Springfield.
The Egyptian Treasures exhibit was only in Springfield for one more day, and Lisa Simpson wasn’t about to let a little thing like "lack of transportation" stop her. After a series of tactical maneuvers—and a very questionable permission slip—she found herself standing at the corner of 5th and Main, staring at a bus that definitely did not go to the museum.
Meanwhile, back at the power plant, Homer felt a sudden, inexplicable "Dad-sense" tingling—or perhaps it was just the half-eaten donut in his pocket. When he realized Lisa hadn't returned, he didn't call the police; he grabbed a cherry picker.
"Lisa! Jump into the bucket!" Homer yelled, swinging the mechanical arm wildly.
Homer looked at his daughter, then at the heavy-duty machinery he was currently operating. "Rules are for people who don't have giant robot arms, Lisa."
