* PlayingSick: In "The Two Who Cried Ouch", Two ends up getting sick after expressing disappointment at never being first at anything and enjoys the attention and care his siblings and mother provide him during his period of illness so much that after he recovers, he repeatedly fakes getting injured to get his way. He starts to feel bad about it when Four catches him playing fetch with Belinda after he faked a sprained ankle to get out of doing yard work and decides to fess up and apologize to his brothers and sisters after Mama tells him a story of a girl who repeatedly yelled "Sloth" when there weren't any only to be ignored when there actually were sloths. On his way, however, Two gets his nose stuck in a tree and his siblings initially refuse to help him due to thinking he's faking yet again.
