| 2 | * In the shorts Donald's nephews were only staying with him until his brother-in-law got out of the hospital, after he was badly injured by a prank the triplets played on him. Since Huey, Dewey, and Louie never left, it implies their father died and the three are accidentally {{Self Made Orphan}}s. |
| 3 | ** Actually, their mother left them there, but disappeared, along with the father, stranding them with Donald. [[LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain And it was never spoken of again]]. The details depend on the author, though. |
| 4 | ** In WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck comics, it is often mentioned that Donald is the sole guardian of Huey, Dewey, and Louie, which would imply that both their parents are dead. |
| 5 | *** Directly referenced in one of Creator/DonRosa's comics, in which Uncle Scrooge mentions losing parents and one of the boys responds with "We know what that's like." |
| 6 | *** Speaking of the Don Rosa comics, if you consider the timeline canon and examine it carefully, you'll notice that Della had to have had the triplets when she was a teenager. That opens up all sorts of possibilities for why we haven't seen the father and why Della hasn't come back for her children. |
| 7 | * Donald Duck suffers Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from WWII. No, this is ''not'' a WMG. This Cracked article discusses it as a "theory," but provides an actual, legit comic strip where this is literally the case.

| 8 | * WesternAnimation/LambertTheSheepishLion. Oh how Lambert's real mother must feel that her baby never showed up. And what happened to the baby sheep that Lambert got mixed up with? If they got switched at birth, let's hope the unseen lion family won't accept their lamb child as dinner. |
