* ItSeemedTrivial: When the Mayor tries to call the girls, they don't see what the big deal is about sunflower seeds being stolen because he doesn't mention that it was a caveman stealing them. Something Blossom later points out after they finally see for themselves. Of course, this being the Mayor, he honestly asks if that was important.
