Carl does remind me of me in some ways. Like how when George gave him the book and he got all excited. You should see me when I get a gift like that. Same when his mom was telling him to say thank you to George. My mom has to push me to say thank you or to greet someone, too.

I like how Brain explained AS to George, too. I think he explained it very well. Especially the part where he finds the costume so humorous. A lot of the things I find hilarious, other people don't, and then sometimes it's just SO funny, that I just start laughing and can't stop, people just stare at me weird.

Carl is nothing like me. I'm more like a combo of Brain and Buster.

I wish I had known someone like George when I was little. He seems patient with Carl and tries to be understanding, something I never encountered in other people my age when I was in school.

And George. I relate to George more than Carol.

I used to love Arthur too Smile Especially the episode where the kids think the asteroid is about to crash into earth and they hide out and wait for it in the tree house....if that's how the plot goes - I don't remember that well.

Thanks for sharing this.

The character I relate to most is Fern. I also like to read, although I'm not too into detective stories.lolI also would like to be a writer, too. My mom is also a bit like Fern's mom, too. She's always wanting me to socialize, too, although she never tried to get me to have a slumber party, thank goodness.

I always liked Buster the most but Carl does act like me when I was little.

I love watching Arthur as a kid! I'm surprised I've never seen this episode before (or at least don't remember seeing it). I think having an episode about AS was a great idea and I love how patient George was with Carl! Very Happy
