-{{Desc|[[Selma]] has a severe hot flash while giving [[Mr. Burns]] his driving test. [[Dr. Hibbert]] explains (with help from a video starring {{Ch|Robert Wagner}}) that Selma is experiencing the onset of menopause. Selma, decides she wants a baby rather than grow old alone. Adoption is suggested, but the [[Springfield Orphanage|Springfield orphanage]] is empty. [[Lisa]] suggests adopting a baby girl from [[China]]. One problem: the Chinese government only allows married couples to adopt. No problem; Selma writes down a name for her husband - Homer's - and "The Simpsons are going to China!" (with [[Marge]] acting as [[Bart]] and Lisa's nanny) so Selma and Homer can pick up the baby together.}}
