St. Boniface Vikings (Part 1)

Separate Vocations

After taking career aptitude tests, scored by a malfunctioning computer, Lisa discovers that the occupation she is best suited for is homemaker, while Kevin's test show that he should be a policeman. And Marla Lynn's test show that she will be a model. Lisa is heartbroken over the result and at dinner, she complains about the chosen future for her as homemaker. Marva Lynn tells her it can't be that bad, but Nolan rudely interrupts her and asks Kevin of his chosen occupation. He replies that he got police officer, which makes Nolan proud. However, Lisa reveals that she has future dreams of playing jazz music as a professional saxophone player and is determined to prove the test wrong. She consults a music teacher for his opinion and plays her saxophone with passion. Although he is impressed with her skills, he honestly reveals that because she has inherited her father's stubby fingers, she can never be a professional saxophone player. Much to her disgust, Lisa is therefore required by the test to spend the day doing chores with Marva Lynn, while Kevin goes on a ride-along with the police. Later, Marla Lynn's model teacher regrets that she is happy to be the littlest model.

Lisa hates her role as a homemaker and realizing that her future dreams have been shattered, she loses interest in being a good student. Without any motivation to do her best, Lisa quits playing saxophone and becomes a rebellious, sullen delinquent. Kevin enjoys spending time with the police, and he even ends up stopping Snake during a car chase.

Meanwhile, Nolan and his cousins Paul, Grady, Ed, Fran, Bill, Mick, Roy, Fred and Karl were poker and Lisa asked them about having a wrong career, Kevin said about the right career as did Marla Lynn.
