Trivia

add »
When Suga Mama and Puff are in the basement, she pulls off the tape and Puff's hair rips off. But after the house came back down from being filled with helium, he has all of his hair back and that's only about a day later. (edit)
When Penny is about to return the clothes, the card says "they all smell like rat poison anyway". If clothes smelled like rat poison, a store wouldn't take it back for being "damaged goods". (edit)
The door knob on the front door is on the wrong side. Looking from inside the house, the door knob should be on the right instead of on the left. (edit)
When Penny gets ice cream for her friends, its soft-served in flat-bottomed cones. But, when we see the ice cream again its 3 scoops of hard ice cream in bowls with 3 cherries. (edit)
The Credit Card said the bill would come at the end of the month. He made it sound like it would be a few weeks but it was actually 3 days. (edit)
