The episode begins when [[Arthur Read|Arthur]] and [[D.W. Read|D.W.]] are playing checkers. Arthur begins to speak, but D.W. tells him she wants to do it herself. Arthur then says he doesn't think D.W. thinks she appreciates how easy her life is because of him. He says she could always go to him for great advice. A flashback begins with Arthur teaching D.W. how to get rid of mosquitoes. He tells her to blow gently, and will go away. D.W. blows, and the mosquito leaves, but bites her first. Arthur says "More gently next time. I will now teach you how to tie your shoes with your mind." The flashback ends. He says he constantly encourages her. Another flashback begins. Arthur is teaching D.W. how to rollerskate. D.W. rides in to a garbage can. "That was great. Now we'll work on stopping!" And he thinks when she gets to kindergarten, everyone will respect her because she's Arthur Read's sister. He says he also teaches her things, like checkers. D.W. yells, "King me!" Arthur saw D.W.'s move and was surprised. | |||

*[[Boris Boudnikov]] is a caricature of Igor Boudnikov, the supervisor of character design in the series from around seasons 10 to 15.<ref>http://elwoodcitycentral.createaforum.com/new-board/crew-members-that-appear-in-the-series/msg807/#msg807</ref> | |||
===Episode connections=== | |||
* | *D.W. beating Arthur at checkers is likely a callback to "[[Play it Again, D.W.]]." | ||
** | **D.W. shouts "King me!" just like in "[[Arthur Bounces Back]]." | ||
===Errors=== | ===Errors=== | ||
*In "[[Arthur the Unfunny]]," Francine has no problem doing flips or cartwheels, and even tries to help Arthur learn how. This episode retcons her skills. | |||
**Unless this episode took place before that one since the series rarely goes in chronological order. | |||
