==Trivia== | |||
*Grandma Thora being a bad cook is completely forgotten in some later episodes. | |||
**In "[[Go to Your Room, D.W.]]", D.W. dreams she is eating cookies made by Grandma Thora, but in this episode she hates her cookies. | |||
**In "[[Arthur's Chicken Pox]]", Grandma Thora cooks up some treats for the sick Arthur, and he likes them. D.W. was even jealous of him. | |||
*This episode starts the gag of putting tomatoes in desserts; Buster would repeat it in "[[Buster's Sweet Success]]" when he puts tomato in [[Buster Clusters|chocolate]]. | |||
*Mr. Morris injures his leg again in "[[April 9th]]". | |||
*Although Mrs. Read (and Mr. Read) leaves the house, her voice can be heard calling the kids to dinner instead of Grandma's Thora's voice. | |||
