Squirrel Rockets
From the five-year-old genius department:
In Episode 8 of SpongeBob Squarepants, Sandy Bottoms (the squirrel), builds a rocket in the short entitled Sandy’s Rocket which accidentally launches Spongebob and Patrick into space.
The five-year-old made this connection yesterday: If Sandy were going to build a rocket, she would not fill the rocket with water, but air, since that is what she breathes. Yet, Spongebob and Patrick are in the rocket and don’t dry out, as Spongebob did in Episode 2’s Tea at the Treedome when he visited Sandy at her treedome without water. Or as Spongebob said (and the five-year-old imitated), “Water… waahhh-tterrr!”
To quote Patrick: “When in doubt, pinky out!”
