Pal eventually does get one, and brings it to Kate, even after Arthur fell under the impression that Pal ran away from him intentionally.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' Arthur's parents to have the common sense to realize that it was the balloon Kate had been making such a fuss about, and in fact take the balloon away since they are potentially dangerous to infants.\\
'''Instead''': It completely blows past them when Kate stops crying the moment she gets her balloon, cluelessly stating "I guess we'll never know what was bothering her"; even worse, they let her keep playing with it despite the risks involved. Even Pal is dumbfounded.

* In "Buster's Sweet Success", Buster unsurprisingly ends up eating all of the chocolates he had volunteered to sell in order to raise money for new instruments at school. So he and Arthur elect to make all new boxes of homemade chocolate to make up for it.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' Arthur and Buster to ask an adult to help them, since Arthur's dad's a caterer and cook and they had used his kitchen to make them. You'd also expect them to taste test the chocolate before selling them to the public.\\
'''Instead:''' They elect to make it all by themselves, even when it becomes obvious that they have no idea what ingredients to use and don't even have access to the ones named on the boxes, instead resorting to various nonsensical substitutes that even they should realize are not appropriate ingredients for chocolate, even going so far as to use egg shells as opposed to the yolks in their recipe; Additionally, Arthur refuses to let Buster test the chocolate, which makes sense until he completely neglects to suggest that he or somebody else like his dad, a professional cook, test the chocolate. Predictably, the customers are not satisfied with their purchases.

* In the episode "Play It Again, D.W." in which Arthur is driven crazy when D.W. constantly plays her "Crazy Bus" CD single. At one point, he yells at D.W., saying that he'll wreck the CD if she continues playing it. She tattles on her parents.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' Mom and Dad to come up with a compromise for Arthur and D.W: Arthur should not touch D.W.'s things and D.W. should give Crazy Bus a rest once in a while.\\
'''Instead:''' They side with D.W. 100% and ground Arthur.\\
'''Later:''' D.W. can't find the CD and tells her parents that Arthur hid it.\\
'''You'd Then Expect:''' Mom and Dad to lecture D.W. that it's not right to accuse when you have a grudge against someone and to help her look for the CD.\\
'''Instead:''' They believe her story and confront Arthur for stealing it. Keep in mind that D.W. already got him in trouble for doing ''absolutely nothing'' except threaten to break the CD so he can have some piece and quiet.

'''You'd Expect:''' Arthur to take precautions to keep D.W.'s mitts of his plane. He could tell his parents, lock his door, or even put it up where she cannot reach it.\\
'''Instead:''' He just leaves his plane out in the open.\\
'''The Result:''' D.W. predictably takes the plane and breaks it, causing him to lose his cool and hit her.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' Mom and Dad discipline them both about it. For them to tell D.W. to not touch Arthur's things; and to tell Arthur to not resort to violence when he gets angry.\\
'''Instead:''' ''Again'' they take D.W's side. While she puts on a drama show, they label Arthur as a bully even when he's ''visibly remorseful'' about hitting her, and give him a week of TV ban (though they do say they would discuss it with D.W. later, but we never see this, as they do this offscreen.).\\
'''Compounding It:''' Word gets to Binky, the local JerkWithAHeartOfGold about this. He then eventually reluctantly (as a test by his 4th grade friends to prove he's still tough) punches Arthur in the shoulder.\\
'''You'd Then Expect:''' Arthur's parents to raise a fuss over this unprovoked act by a third party.\\
