* DidntThinkThisThrough: Mr. Frond realizes too late that letting kids write ''and'' choose the new school song was a bad idea. Louise lampshades it to her siblings, stating that ''of course'' the kids are all going to make the songs as dumb, offensive and as inappropriate as they can get away with. By the end, Mr. Frond has to rig the voting to ensure the least offensive song wins, and even then the system has collapsed so badly the winner isn't that great anyways.
