Parenting 101.....

While watching Spongebob with the girls, it was about when Patrick and Spongebob find this baby clam and decide to take care of it. Patrick yells out, "I get to be the mom." Spongebob replied, patrick you can't be the mom. You don't wear a shirt. As they show patrick again he gets hairy, fat, and smelly aroma's comes from him. So they are doing the whole parent thing, Patrick is the father who goes to work while spongebob stays home and takes care of the baby but tells patrick he wants a break when he comes home. Well patrick comes home and walks past Spongebob and tells him work are long he was tired. He tell spongbob that he will give him a break tomorrow. Tomorrow comes and the same thing happened as the night before. So a week of this and spongebob is so tired and patrick has no idea what spongebob is going through. Spongebob show patrick's all the things he has been doing, feeding baby, changing him, etc. Patrick cry's outs he is a bad father.

So the next morning he tells spongebob that he will see him after work at 6pm. Well midnight comes around and he has a lampshade on his head from a party he went to and spongebob in rolls in his hair ask patrick where he has been and why he didn't get a break. Patrick starts in, "I work all day to provide for this family, I don't deserve this. I'm going back to work." Patrick goes to his rock house and is watching tv. "It's not as easy as it looks. Sometime i have to move the antenna. Or lose the remote. And sometimes my butt itches too." Well spongebob is mad at this point and throw patrick's briefcase at him which is filled with Donuts and Ice Sundaes. Soon you hear the baby clam is at the window of spongebob's house ready to jump out it' Both Patrick and spongbob race over to where the baby will fall and miss. The both asked eachother if they caught the baby. The baby clam learned how to "flap" it's wings and flew away, thus making Patrick and Spongebob great parents. It ends with patrick asking Spongbob you have another one.

First of all, Spongebob never made sense to me. Yes this one episode was funny, but i had so many questions about it. Like why would they take in a baby clam when it was the size of their hand. Why not make it a baby whale or seal? When Patrick yelled out to me the mom but can't cause he doesn't wear a shirt. Does that mean all father's don't wear shirts? The part about giving each other a break from your kid. Yes i understand that. Many families go through that. Where one parent just wants 15 mins to themselves but can't if the other parents has been out working or doing whatever. The part about the baby clam jumping from the window. I dont know about that one. SpongeBob was relatively uncontroversial during the first two seasons and the beginning of the third season. SpongeBob and Patrick's close friendship in many episodes (including an episode where they hold hands) led some viewers to the conclusion that SpongeBob and Patrick were homosexual. In the 2002 episode "Rock-A-Bye-Bivalve", SpongeBob and Patrick adopt a baby scallop, furthering the rumor because of its implications that the two make major life decisions together as a monogamous couple would. SpongeBob sometimes wears cosmetics and dresses in women's clothing, often cited as evidence of his homosexuality. Independent of assumptions, the cartoon's acceptance and optimism have made it popular within parts of the real-life gay community. Steven Hillenburg stated in 2002 that SpongeBob is asexual.I had mix feelings about it, but laughed so hard.
