*Mrs. Read gets a call from a Leah. This later became Mrs. MacGrady’s first name, but at that time, Mrs. MacGrady’s first name was still Sarah.

*'''Running Gag:''' D.W. saying "Didn't you tell [[Jane Read|Mom]] yet?"
 
*'''Irony:'''
**Jane tells Arthur that even if it had been something about him, she needs to know because as his parent, it's her job to worry about him and she won't be mad.
**If Mr. Haney didnt give  Arthur vague instructions, Arthur wouldn't have been worried.
**Jane is distracted while making dinner because "Herb" hasn't turned in important tax documents. If she had listened to D.W. pointing out the envelope, she would have gotten them a few hours sooner.
*'''Moral:'''
**If something important has to be given, don't be vague to the point where someone else is so worried for your own benefits.
**Dont mind someone else's business for your own benefits.
