Maybe "he said she said" isn't quite the phrase for it

* PoorCommunicationKills: The first time Muffin's "I'm special" mentality ruins the titular game, she and her cousins come to Chili and Stripe for help. They each tell their side of the story, but only the parts about how one party wants to play one way and the other party another. As such, it's a "he-said-she-said" scenario, and Stripe can only offer that the two parties try reaching a middle ground. Unfortunately, this simply enables Muffin to further push the boundaries and disrupt Bluey and Bingo's game. It's only later when the two girls specify the ''nature'' of Muffin's [[ThereAreNoRules disruptive behavior]] that Stripes truly realizes his daughter's truly in the wrong and, by that extent, [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone he's directly at fault for her unruly attitude]].

* {{Foreshadowing}}: When Muffin first enters the house, Chili tries to tell her niece to be mindful of wiping her feet of mud before entering the household. Without missing a beat, Muffin casually argues that she doesn't have to on the grounds that she's "special". This is a hint of what's in store for Bluey and Bingo, and the kind of trouble that will soon ensue thanks to this mindset.
* GoodTimesMontage: Muffin has spent the better part of the episode disrupting her cousins' game on the grounds of being "special", making Bluey and Bingo miserable for it. Once Muffin comes back with a humbler attitude that she's not special and asks for a redo of the game, what follows is a montage of them playing Library again. And this time, thanks to Muffin following the rules, play time is more harmonious, and the girls have a great time.

When Muffin is told that she is special by her dad, she interprets it as an excuse to do anything she wants, which means playing Bluey and Bingo's game of Library her way.

* AcquiredSituationalNarcissism: When Stripe calls Muffin "the most special kid in the world", Muffin interprets this as meaning she doesn't have to follow any rules due to being "special". She ends up ruining the Library game for Bluey and Bingo due to her refusal to play along properly, until Stripe talks some sense into her.

* DramaticallyMissingThePoint: This is a rather two-way street where both parties are at fault. On one hand, Stripe accidentally frames that being special means you don't have to follow rules, before he compliments his daughter that she's the most special person in the world. On the other hand, Muffin is the one who misconstrues that her father calling her special is a term of endearment, rather than permission to break the rules as much as she wants.
