* DidntThinkThisThrough: A repeated failure of America is his inability to take in accounts the consequences of him doing something reckless. However, it can be excused by his young age -- seven-years-old kids are not really equipped with the self-control or life experience allowing to avoid disasters.

** Spain accidentally dropped a toddler Texas in the stairs as he was drunk and tired, causing the boy to die for a week. It actually scared Spain into being a more attentive and definitely overprotective dad.

Since his very beginnings as the Lost Colony of Roanoke, he was left at his own devices, reviled for being "unnatural" by the Natives ''and'' the colonists, constantly put in danger and oh yeah, he's barely a kid.

Following Alfred's downsizing, Arthur admits he's happy to be given a chance to be a ''proper'' dad to the boy, but he's a traumatized, slightly smothering mess whose brothers encourage to get psychiatric treatment.
