Plot
The intro begins with Arthur pouring himself a glass of milk, and about to eat a brownie. D.W. comes in asking him if he's seen the parade outside, but Arthur says that it's raining outside to which D.W. explains that it's a rain parade and that the marching band is in rain coats with a float shaped like an umbrella and that it's right outside. Arthur runs to the window but doesn't see anything and when he comes back he sees that D.W. has eaten half of his brownie and Kate accidentally knocks his glass of milk over causing it to spill on the floor. Arthur explains to the viewers that he sometimes wishes he was an only child because life would be easier and that he could use D.W. and Kate's room as his own library (he imagines using D.W. and Kate's room as his own library where he finds a yucky Princess Sneeze doll but throws it away and continues reading, he also thinks that he might get more presents at Christmas, (he imagines at Christmas that all three of the stockings have his name on it), and finally he believes that with him being an only child he'd never have to compromise (he imagines himself sitting on the couch with Pal telling Pal that they're gonna watch The Bionic Bunny Special, then a Bionic Bunny rerun, and this his tape of his favorite Bionic Bunny episodes to which Pal barks in agreement. Back in present day Arthur's Dad calls to him from the kitchen asking him if he ate the last brownie. Arthur eats the brownie and tells the viewers that there is one good thing about having a younger sister and calls to his dad and tells him that D.W. ate the brownie and Kate laughs as the intro ends. The title is said in Francine's voice and features Binky blowing gum and getting gum stuck to the camera and himself.

The episode begins with Sue Ellen painting a picture at the park and watching her friends race with their siblings in The Brother and Sister Race. Arthur is steering D.W. to which she tells him to go straight but he accidentally goes to far and causes himself to roll over D.W.. Sue Ellen tells them that it looks like fun but D.W. says it's not with Arthur steering because last time he almost drove her into the lake. Sue Ellen offers to be D.W.'s partner next time but Arthur tells her she can't because it's a brother and sister race.
