17	* NotSoAboveItAll: Roy scoffs at Ichabod and Barnaby for being too old to be playing with stuffed animals. Barnaby gives him the stink eye, but Ichabod tells him that just because people grow older doesn't mean they can't enjoy what they do. Later, Roy digs up an old stuffed animal and hugs it with a sniffle, saying, "Hey there, Mr. Fluffybottoms. Didja miss me?"
