After several more deliveries, Bart calls Lisa and mentions that she needs to help him find a way to get a package shipped to Springfield, and big enough to hold Martin, Milhouse and Nelson.

-After the airline refuses to let him change his ticket to Hong Kong from Friday to Saturday without a huge fee, [[Seymour Skinner]] decides to promote a "{{w|Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day|Take your kids to work day}}" on the Friday before Spring Break. [[Bart]] very reluctantly goes to the [[DMV]] with [[Patty]] and [[Selma]] (his first choice was staying at home with [[Marge]]), [[Lisa]] goes to the nuclear power plant with [[Homer]], [[Milhouse]] discovers the exciting world of crackers, and [[Martin]] makes a million dollars trading commodity futures (although seconds later, he loses all but $600).

 At the DMV, Bart makes himself a fake driver's license. He, [[Nelson]], and Milhouse look for a way to use it, so they decide to use some money that Martin has to rent a car and go on a road trip. As a cover story, Bart, Martin, and Milhouse tell their parents that they have been selected by their school to attend the "National Grammar Rodeo" in [[Canada]]. Lisa, who is not fooled by Bart's flimsy story suspects he is lying, but Marge thinks that she is trying to get attention. Martin and Milhouse have no problems convincing their parents. Nelson just tells his mother that he is going away for a week.

-The next time Lisa meets with Homer, she explains just what Bart has been up to. Homer vents his displeasure by yelling into one of the plant's safety helmets. After causing his nuclear console to malfunction (by pouring a can of [[Buzz Cola]] on the controls), Homer orders the plant a new nuclear console from the {{w|Oak Ridge National Laboratory|Oak Ridge Nuclear Facility}} in a crate. Bart forces Nelson, Milhouse, and Martin to get in the crate while flying home, and everyone knows about the trip except Marge, who receives a call from Skinner asking if Bart traveled to [[Hong Kong]], a call asking whether her son's car was abandoned in Tennessee, and a call requesting for Bart to make another international delivery.
