==Plot==
==Plot==
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?"

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.
