The Cool Moms
The Cool Moms is a group of four women (including Marge) who all have boys around Bart's age. Marge left the group while the boys were still small. Seven years later, she reunited with the group, but soon left again.
History
First Version
When the group first formed, Marge and the other three women would have conversation and coffee at The Coffee Cafe while the four boys all played in Toddlin' Town. Marge left the group after a while because she felt that the other three boys were a bad influence on Bart, but for a long time was unable to recall a specific reason.
The New Cool Moms
Seven years later, Marge reunited with the other three women, re-forming the group. It started when Bart and a 5th Grader noticed that they had identical sword-shaped scars on their hands. This led to their figuring out that their moms had once been friends, which in turn led to The Cool Moms getting back together.
The women resumed their old pattern of coffee and conversation (this time in the living rooms of each other's houses) while their husbands hung out together and the boys played together. Marge had a good time with the other women. Bart found out that all four boys had sword-shaped scars, but got uncomfortable with the crazy things the other boys dared him to do. Meanwhile, the husbands were totally uninterested in hanging out together and either sat in silence or the other three would gang up on Homer and be cruel to him. It got so bad that at one point Homer was overjoyed to see Ned Flanders.
Second Breakup
Bart learned the story behind the four boys' sword scars, which revealed the explanation behind the first breakup and also led to the second breakup. Bart found out from Comic Book Guy that when he and the other three boys were small, The Cool Moms and their families attended a community picnic. Comic Book Guy was running a fireworks display while eating a large sandwich that was held together by four sword-shaped toothpicks. The boys watched Comic Book Guy launching the fireworks, then started clowning around and set off all the fireworks at once. The resulting explosion caused a panic and one firework hit Comic Book Guy's sandwich, burning it up and sending the four toothpicks (now on fire) flying through the air. One toothpick landed on the back of the hand of each boy, giving them their scars.
When Marge learned of the fireworks incident, she remembered that was the reason she had left the group seven years ago. She then realized that the other boys were still a bad influence on Bart and left the group again, walking out on the other three women during a living room chat. As soon as the door closed behind Marge, two of the women started a make-out session, kissing and stripping each other's clothes off while the third eagerly watched.
