Watching D.W. make pancakes incorrectly (adding ketchup, egg shells, and too much flour), Arthur imagines a world where everyone could do whatever they wanted at any age. He shows [[Bud Compson|Bud]] as an accountant, the [[Timmy and Tommy Tibble|Tibble twins]] as surgeons, and [[Kate Read|Kate]] as a pilot. As D.W. shows her gross pancakes to Arthur, he asks the viewers, "See what I mean?" | Watching D.W. make pancakes incorrectly (adding ketchup, egg shells, and too much flour), Arthur imagines a world where everyone could do whatever they wanted at any age.

David and D.W. go for a walk, where D.W. observes both [[Binky Barnes|Binky]] and people at the ice cream store all making the same gestures and saying the same line as Arthur and Buster.

However, as they watch the show, they start to find it boring. When David catches them, Bud runs off and D.W. is caught. | ||
At the dinner table, David is still angry over what D.W. did and punishes her with no TV for a week, explaining that they put the parental controls on for her safety. D.W. apologizes, and Arthur points out that "sometimes you have to wait until you're older to do certain things." David then thinks that Arthur is too young for Doctor Whosit, and D.W. cheers. | |||

*A page from the Reads' password book is seen. One password, "Ar1976," could be a reference to the original publication date of the [[Arthur's Nose|first ''Arthur'' book]] in 1976. Another password is "BoSTOn", which is a reference to Boston, Massachusetts, where the [[WGBH|producer]] of the ''[[Arthur (TV series)|Arthur]]'' TV series is located. | |||
