* IronicEcho: "Fair is Fair". Josh first brings this up as a philosophy that will seemingly benefit the babies once they leave Angelica. As the story progresses, he uses this more and more to justify why they should let him have his way, like giving him their snacks or pushing him on the tire swing. When it gets to a point where Josh doesn't even pretend he's not a bully and orders the babies to dig him a moat, he derisively declares "Fair is fair", as though meaning to affirm he only meant for things to be "fair" on ''his'' terms.

* CharacterCatchphrase: Josh's catchphrase is "Fair is fair", which he uses every time the babies do something he doesn't like.

* DramaticIrony: The audience is witness to Josh's gradual transformation from the babies' new "[[FauxAffablyEvil friend]]" to the bully and tyrant he really is. He manipulates them to give their snacks to him, or push him on the tire swing, all in the name of "Fair is fair". Meanwhile, Angelica sees this happening from afar and thinks the babies are doing this ''of their own volition'', fueling her insecure belief that the babies like serving him better than they do her. It's only once Tommy comes forward to ask Angelica for help that she realizes that true extent of the babies' "willing" servitude.



* {{Foil}} : Between Angelica and Josh. Both kids are ultimately jerks to the babies, that much is true on paper. But Angelica is straightforward about her bully-some nature; what you see is what you get. And she draws the line at [[WouldHurtAChild jumping onto the babies from a swing]]. Meanwhile, Josh [[FauxAffablyEvil pretends]] to be halfway decent in order to win over the babies, and has no qualms about swinging onto the babies just to punish them for trying to go to Angelica for help.

* {{Irony}}: The babies initially wish they didn't have to take orders from Angelica. But when Josh turns out to be such a two-faced bully to the babies, it's the point that when they ultimately return to Angelica, they're practically ''happy'' that they're doing [[BookEnds more of the same thing]].



* TheBadGuyWins: Angelica, ''again'', manages to cow Drew to her demands.
