Consistently lies to his mother and is very intentional and expressive about it, with no remorse (e.g., 'Plan: Lie, Lie, Lie' and several others throughout). There is frequent borderline language infused throughout (idiot and stupid around 6 times). There are a lot of unkind treatment and names used against various characters. Weirdo is used multiple times against the main character, who is himself unkind to nearly everyone else he knows at least once (calls Molly a nuisance and treats her poorly, calls Rollo dull and rotund, Gabe a slob, teacher boring, lunch lady sad-eyed, all-around negative to Corina who he refers to as the evil one, butt kisser, moronic amateur, dumb and fat, nobody, ignorant, imbecile, ignoramus, bowling turkey). These are all meant to be funny, but maybe that is the most dangerous way they can be presented to our kids. There are moments where Timmy does something dangerous, such as jumping out of a car at a stop sign and running and another where he sits in a parked car and starts it with the intent to drive. Single passing references to scotch (the alcohol), blood and Frankenstein in various places. One strange (or today, maybe not-so-strange) and misguided spiritual reference of dead cat 'being in kitty badlands (instead of heaven) since he never was a good cat'. Finally, in countless ways school is presented as lame, boring and pointless. This is done multiple times and throughout. We are starting to pay more attention to concerns like this as, if left unchecked, it becomes the narrative about school and other good things that our children operate from. Our children are supposed to be different and being educated is a privilege.
