Line #20 WMG/SidTheScienceKid


1	[[WMG: Sid will grow up to be his world's Series/BillNyeTheScienceGuy.]]
2	Hey, why not?
3
4	[[WMG: Unbeknownst to Sid, his parents are obscenely rich.]]
5	* Sid's parents don't let him know about their filthy rich status so that he'll have a relatively normal childhood. They even go so far as to pretend to have mundane jobs just so that Sid won't have a clue about their mind-bogglingly immense wealth.
6	** However, they did splurge a bit on their house and yard, which seem really huge for a supposedly middle-class family. Also, the interior of their home seems pretty sleek and they have up-to-date technology, such as rather modern-looking refrigerator.
7	* Sid's parents fund Teacher Susie's school.
8	** That explains how the school can survive financially with only four students.
9	** It also explains why Sid always gets to choose the topic of the day; and it provides a reasonable explanation for why the other kids (who are presumably nowhere near as rich) are obligated to do a little song and dance when Sid arrives each morning.
10
11	[[WMG: They live in a post-apocalyptic world]]
12	Because they live on a house-lined street with no one else there. Maybe they were some doomsday cult who managed to save themselves, but it explains why only those families go to such a well-stocked school with only four kids - their parents are our reaping all the food and goods now sitting around. Every day the kids through the motions of regular life.
13	* Seemingly contradicted by the special and movie which show them going to out to science museums and such.
14	** Not really, since both said science museums and outdoor locations are depicted strangely devoid of any other people (save for Christopher Lloyd's character and the Chinese students). The presence of the robot staff in the movie even explains how they could continue to be maintained in this post-apocalyptic interpretation.
15
16	[[WMG: The kids are actually in a special ed class.]]
17	This could be an explanation on why there are only four students for besides the age they are at a special education class tends to have less students in it.
18
19	[[WMG: Sid and his friends attend an exclusive private school.]]
20	Goes back to Sid's parents being rich, but maybe the other kids' parents are too. Not the most exciting of theories, but it would explain why there are only four in the class.
21
22	[[WMG: The whole science thing is a distraction. Sid and his friends are the next Music/TheyMightBeGiants.]]
23	With a focus on science-based songs. For scientists, they sure do spend a lot of time singing. And they're pretty good at it too.
24
25	[[WMG: Sid's toy microphone is actually a listening device.]]
26	* The adults listen in on Sid's science question that he wonders about when he wakes up in the morning, and they use that information to make sure that Teacher Susie has a suspiciously specific experiment at the ready to address that very question.

28	[[WMG: The children will all become mops when they grow up.]]
