* MistakenForToilet:
** Inverted in "Fluttershy and the Case of the Missing Potty", in which [[AnimalLover Fluttershy]]'s pets wonder if Pumpkin's potty chair is a well (Beaverton), food dish (Hummingway), pet bed (Angel), trash bin (a raccoon), fishing bowl (an otter), hat (Harry), milk bowl (a flamingo), acorn bowl (a squirrel), flowerpot (a wasp) or Zecora's cauldron (a deer).
** Another inversion occurs throughout the fanfic where the twins wonder if the toilet is a living creature, at first thinking it's a monster, and then later, when it breaks, thinking it's sick.

* SwearWordPlot: In "Scootaloo the Potty Mouth", the two-year-old Cake twins overhear Scootaloo saying the word "peeved" (which isn't swearing in reality, but apparently is in the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' universe) and learn not to say it.

I'm not going to get into a debate about whether spanking a child is ever okay, and I will delete any (the word 'any' is underlined) [[FlameBait comments that lead to a]] FlameWar.
