* FromBadToWorse: Inverted with One's reasons to tell on her sibling during the campout in the episode ''I'm Telling!'' At first, One has good reasons to tell on them, like Four planning to have Seven climb up an incredibly unstable stack of books to reach an ENORMOUS suitcase for Six to pack a bunch of clothes that she does not need at all for one night in the backyard and use Five as a safety landing, and then Four planning to pack ''everything'' in the fridge to take to eat on the campout. But then she starts telling on them for things like Four not sharing the snacks, Seven yelling at her, and Six sticking her tongue out at her. Mom even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades this:]]

* SliceOfLife
* TitleThemeTune: Performed by BarenakedLadies at that!
