Wayside

It’s Valentine’s Day, and Dana uses a variety of power tools and a puppeteered ponytail to force Todd and Maurecia to fall in love. / While Mrs. Jewls is on a faculty retreat, a cow wanders into her class and the students mistake it for a substitute teacher.

Everyone brings their pet to class and asks Todd, the only kid in class who DOESN’T have a pet, to watch all their animals while they go to lunch. Chaos ensues. / The students try to throw Principal Kidswatter a surprise birthday party, but he mistakenly assumes they are attempting to “overthrow” him, and recruits the “new kid” Todd to spy for him.

Maurecia accidentally gets promoted to the 29th floor Honors Class instead of Dana, and does everything she can to escape the class (which is taught by Miss Mush, phD and only has one other student in it – Sammy the Dead Rat). / Myron adopts a head of lettuce as his baby brother, inspiring Mrs. Jewls to assign the class a project about their families. Todd frets that his project will fail since he is an only child.

Myron dresses up like a giant-headed, mascot version of Todd in order to inspire the school’s tetherball team. Todd protests, but ultimately must take the Big Head Todd mascot’s place when Myron breaks the costume. / A casual game of tag goes awry when Todd tags Myron, and Myron uses his newfound status as “it” to demand special treatment from all those around him, eventually turning into a Caesar-like despot.

Best friends Dana and Myron have a fight, and Myron decides to make sleeping Shari his new best friend. Since she is always asleep, he uses an empty glass pressed up against her head to “hear” her thoughts. / Todd saves a kindergarten kid’s stuffed animal, and the 5 year olds make him their king, doing everything they can to serve and protect him, which makes Todd completely mental (and Myron extremely jealous).

Myron dresses up as his “twin brother” Normy, in order to avoid getting in trouble. However, all his classmates end up liking Normy a lot more than Myron, and want to elect him class president instead. / In a Wayside field trip, the kids don’t go to the aquarium, the fish come to them! The classroom is filled with water and fish, but Todd must sit out the “trip” in a life raft, since he forgot his permission slip.
