13	* ExpectingSomeoneTaller: The Utoniums are surprised to find the reclusive scientist Dexter is no older than a 4th grader.
14	* FailedASpotCheck: Chapter 6 sees Dexter meeting Fuzzy Lumpkins, who's out looking for "Joe". Dexter soon figures out that Fuzzy means his ''banjo'', and points out that it's strapped to Fuzzy's back (with narration confirming that he'd put it there that morning and then forgot).

17	* KidsAreCruel:

22	* ParentalNeglect: The theme of the story revolves around Dexter feeling neglected and looked down upon by his parents. They ignore him and don't take him seriously at all.
