It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on January 21, 1993. In the episode, Selma decides to have a baby, inspired by her late aunt's wish that she not spend her life alone. She experiences what life with children is like by taking Bart and Lisa to the Duff Gardens amusement park, which does not go as planned. The episode was written by David M. Stern and directed by Carlos Baeza. Plot After watching an advertisement on television for Duff Gardens, Homer, Bart and Lisa decide to go there. As they prepare to leave, Marge tells them that spinster Great Aunt Gladys died and they will be going to her funeral instead. The Simpsons, along with Marge's sisters Patty and Selma, drive to Littleneck Falls to attend her funeral and the reading of her will. On the video will, Great Aunt Gladys advises Patty and Selma not to die alone, as she did. Selma hears the ticking of her biological clock, and decides she wants a child. Selma tries video dating, a love potion, and flirting with a bag boy before eventually going on a date with Hans Moleman after revoking his license at the DMV. All goes well until Moleman tries to kiss her goodnight; Selma envisions herself as the mother of several ugly, blind children and kicks Moleman out of the car. Lisa then suggests to Selma that she try artificial insemination. When the day comes for Homer to take Bart and Lisa to Duff Gardens, he falls ill from food poisoning after eating a long-since-spoiled hoagie that he brought home from a company picnic. In an attempt to give Selma a taste of motherhood, Marge arranges for her to take the kids to Duff Gardens while she stays home to look after Homer. At Duff Gardens, Bart and Lisa wear Selma out, especially when they go on the Little Land of Duff ride and Bart dares Lisa to drink the "water". When Lisa takes a sip, she begins hallucinating and wanders away. While Selma is looking for Lisa, Bart gets trapped on a roller coaster. Lisa is found swimming nude in the Fermentarium by some workers and is returned to Selma. Meanwhile, Homer feels better throughout the day, and he and Marge enjoy their time
