D.W. doesn't get along well with [[Kate]] as Kate keeps trying to take her toys, and is sent to her room a ten-minute time out as a punishment after threatening to pinch Kate when she would not give one of her toys back and for trying to take the toy away from Kate by force.

D.W.'s punishment is finally over and Jane asks if she is ready to come downstairs, but she proceeds to play "Lifeboat", where she saves her dolls from being eaten by sharks. Jane says "suit yourself". When dinner finally comes a while later, Kate is asleep, but D.W. doesn't want to leave her room, having too much fun with her dolls and instead wants to stay five more minutes.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*D.W. states that Grandma Thora would defend her, but that is not necessarily true, because in "Arthur's Chicken Pox," Thora got disappointed with D.W. for faking having Chicken pox just to get an oatmeal bath and juice, and reprimanded her for doing so.
*In this episode, D.W. imagines enjoying Grandma Thora's cookies, but in "[[The Half-Baked Sale]]," she doesn't like her cookies due to the latter's poor cooking skills.
*In this episode, D.W. imagines enjoying Grandma Thora's cookies, but in "[[The Half-Baked Sale]]," she doesn't like her cookies due to the latter's poor cooking skills. It’s entirely possible that her grandma would have storebought cookies, however.
*Moral:
*The estimated time would be that D.W. has received 20 minutes in her room, after the title card finishes, her mom comes in the room and tells her 10 minutes more, so she may have had previous 10 minutes long before that, and her punishment ends at 4:40, so it's possible that she got sent to her room at 4:20.

**Dont overreact.
*D.W.'s time out punishment is from 4:30 to 4:40, which is 10 minutes long. Due to her inability to read at a young age, she misinterprets the minutes as "hours" and most kids her age can't tell time.

*'''Karma:''' D.W. wanted to pinch Kate, so she got sent to her room.
===Cultural references===
*'''Moral:'''
*In D.W.'s imagination, Jane sounds like the wicked stepmother from ''{{w|Cinderella}}''.

===Episode connections===
**Dont overreact to get other people in trouble for your own personal benefit.
*This episode mentions the events of "[[D.W. Thinks Big (episode)|D.W. Thinks Big]]" and "[[Arthur's Chicken Pox (episode)|Arthur's Chicken Pox]]." [[D.W. Read|D.W.]] thinks she did not attend the wedding in this episode. She is apparently making up stories on what would have happened if she didn't have her way.
===Differences between the book and the episode===
*In the original edition, the entire sequence where D.W. runs away from home was removed from the book. (which was likely to make it more moralic) In the revised 2012 edition, parts of this scene were added alongside several other parts that were new and previously missing.  
*[[Nadine Flumberghast|Nadine]] is completely absent from the story.
===Errors===
===Errors===
*D.W. refers to Lucy as her cousin, but Lucy is actually her aunt. However, she did correctly refer to her as her aunt when sulking claiming that her mom only appreciates other family members.

* When D.W. fusses with Kate over her doll at the beginning, the voice given to Kate as she whines clearly isn't hers, and actually sounds older.

===Cultural references===
* In the wedding flashback, the family took the catering van, not the station wagon; and Grandma Thora did not go to the wedding, because Lucy is Jane's sister and those two women are daughters of Grandpa Dave; and Arthur wore a teal tuxedo, not a blue one.
*In D.W.'s imagination, Jane sounds like the wicked stepmother from ''{{w|Cinderella}}''.
===Episode connections===
*This episode mentions the events of "[[D.W. Thinks Big (episode)|D.W. Thinks Big]]" and "[[Arthur's Chicken Pox (episode)|Arthur's Chicken Pox]]." [[D.W. Read|D.W.]] thinks she did not attend the wedding in this episode. She is apparently making up stories on what would have happened if she didn't have her way.
*The plot is somewhat similar to “Arthur’s Big Hit”. Arthur and D.W. overreacts to someone breaking something, and for most of the episode does not understand what they did wrong.
