* ArtisticLicensePhysics: Angelica leads the babies into thinking the sky will someday fall. Scientifically speaking, this is impossible, as the “sky” is simply the air that makes up the Earth’s atmosphere. Its blue color is simply the result of blue light becoming more scattered due to being a bit shorter wavelengths than the other colors.

* KidsPreferBoxes: Stu throws his half-finished invention at the TV after seeing a commercial from a competitor, breaking the TV as a result. The biggest box he has is just barely too small to fit the TV, so the babies make a TV out of the cardboard box and make their own shows, including a game show, a news program, and a soap opera.

'''Didi:''' What?!\\
'''Stu:''' Oops.\\
'''Didi:''' Oh, Stu!
