* ADateWithRosiePalms:
** Joey built the Cleary's backyard treehouse because it gives him the ideal vantage point to ogle the attractive nurse who lives next door.
** Lawrence notes that Frank takes extra long in the shower whenever he sees Catwoman on TV. Frank insists he's just being "thorough".
** Timmy is MistakenForMasturbating because he left a glue stain on his bedsheet while making a secret puppet show. It gets worse when he starts gluing his puppets over a Sears catalog... over the women's coats section.

Outnumbered Sibling is being disambiguated.


* OutnumberedSibling: Played with. In “Little Cyst”, Pat misshears Peggy, and tells the others that they’re going to have a little sister. All the boys except for Pat freak out at the thought of having a sister, and try to solve what's really going on.
