Goofs

First Brain

Second Brain

• When Mrs. Turner opens Chapter 1 of the book "How To Raise You're Child So He Doesn't Turn Out Like Mine", she skipped a few pages.
• On the bus when A.J. got out his cell phone to video tape Timmy and Francis, he is on the second to front seat, but when the screen zooms out he is on the front seat.
• On the left inside of the bus, some seats are missing.
• It is impossible for a car to turn in a 90 degree angle. (Please note that since FOP is a cartoon, real world logic does NOT apply)
• How was Mr. Turner able to get the station wagon fixed in just a matter of hours, the station wagon was totally crushed by Timmy and they can't use magic to fix it.
• When Timmy was tossed out of the video game he was wished in, he got injuries. Moments later, when Mrs. Turner gave him breakfast, the injuries are gone.
  • However, since it is a cartoon, the writers must've erased Timmy's injuries.
    • In addition, Wanda and Cosmo are often seen healing Timmy's injuries and cleaning him up with their magic.
• When Cosmo holds up the cup, the heart is upside down.
• In this episode, Timmy's brain is of normal proportions and appearance. But in Dog's Day Afternoon, his brain is as small as a peanut and lacks a stem.

• When the notes go out of the day planner, Timmy (in Mrs. Turner's body) doesn't get injuries.
• Wanda says Timmy is 10, but this episode is after "Birthday Bashed", in which Timmy was supposed to turn 11, and she still doesn't know Timmy wished to not get older until "Timmy's Secret Wish!".
• In this episode, Mrs. Turner is viewed as a Stay-at-home mom, but in Mighty Mom and Dyno Dad, Mooooving Day, and Channel Chasers, she was shown to be a real estate realtor.

Mr. Crocker: You've been reading mother's parenting book, the one she was too busy writing to raise me! Normally I'd give you another F for that, but suddenly I want to...tell you about my empty childhood.
