** I’m assuming it’s because it’s still a tight short black dress, which doesn’t sound bad nor is inherently sexual or anything but like Trudy said unfortunately people will see outfits like that as mature and will be interested in them for the wrong reasons, and the girls are too young to dress "mature" and shouldn’t grow up too fast by doing so.

** When you’re younger sometimes you’re friends with people out of convenience/proximity. Penny has known DiJonay since they were little, and DiJonay knew LaCieniga for a bit when they were younger and Penny’s parents are best friends with LaCieniga's parents so she tries to be civil towards her.

** It kind of coincides with the UnfortunateImplications of black parents being more likely to enforce corporal punishment when their children speak out of turn - and Oscar is snarky, cracks jokes, and doesn't exactly give his mother the utmost of respect.

* Okay so what's so wrong with Lacienega's LPDZ outfit? It didn't seem to revealing. Out of all the girls, hers was the only decent outfit (and maybe even Zoey's because hers wasn't showing her midriff).

***^Well, that's kind of a meta question, actually. That aside, ''exactly'' how bad the Proud Snax are vary from episode to episode, as some of the episodes have it where they taste like crap (however ya'll would describe "crap" to taste like), while others have it where they seem "passable but not great" with a few tweaks to the recipe, though, while he's started a business, it doesn't mean it's a successful one (some details imply Oscar's ideas might've been more successful, at least, in the short term). On that subject, you'd have to wonder as to how, for awhile, 1) no one caught on to (actual) monkeys running the factory or 2) where'd he get the money for a startup.

*** It's possible Trudy just happens to be more light-skinned than her relatives. Since we only see some of her relatives anyway, she probably has a lighter-skinned grandparent or great-grandparent somewhere.

As one of the many AA tropers, this troper can tell you quite a few of us do have relatives that do look several shades lighter than ourselves.

** For that matter, how did they even become a couple in the first place? (Trudy wasn't even Oscar's first choice for a wife--Oscar admits in one episode he'd rather be married to Ginger Snaps.)

* Okay there’s one thing I don’t get. I was watching a scene in the episode "Teacher's Pet" and Suga Mama and Ms. Dinkins were going back and forth with the Darnell Sisters. When Suga Mama says that the Darnell Sisters never beat her and Dinkins, the Darnell Sisters respond with "well apparantly Father Time did." What were the sisters trying to imply?

* Why are Oscar and Trudy still together, given how incompatible they frequently are? Oscar's jerkishness, stupidity, immaturity, and roving eye are always angering Trudy, and Trudy has a bad temper and often flat-out ''assaults'' Oscar over something he's done to make her mad (which is NOT right, no matter how much she's right to be angry with him). Why haven't they divorced or at least separated after all of this time and conflict? (The only thing that seems to bring them together is their mutual love for their children.) They both honestly could do better than each other--Oscar with a more patient and even-tempered woman who never lays a finger on him, and Trudy with a man who's everything Oscar isn't and never angers him. Even Trudy's mother wonders at one point why they haven't broken up yet.

*** From what I can tell, they mostly just tolerate each other because they're neighbors and because they're both friends with Dijonay. While LaCienega does become less jerkish as time goes on, she and Penny never really consider each other friends.

** The girls try to be civil to each other and have some type of friendship depending on the episode. Most of the time they are not friends though and unless they’re hanging out as a family where the girls are expected to be nice the parents shouldn’t push two girls who don’t get along to be friends.

* Okay, seriously, why the heck is Penny still even friends with [=LaCienega=] and Dijonay? Zoe I understand, she's relatively nice compared to the other two of them and only really backstabs Penny when she's under peer pressure.. [=LaCienega=] and Dijonay on the other hand, literally have done nothing but pulled ChronicBackstabbingDisorder numerous times, Penny's outright ''stated'' that [=LaCienega=] doesn't want to be her friend, and Dijonay refuses to learn from her mistakes and keeps being a bad friend. On top of all that, Sugar Mama has told Penny ''numerous times'' to drop them!
