* AlternateAesopInterpretation: The intended Aesop of the episode is that you should wait until you are older to do certain things such as kissing, but it can also be read as "if you want something from someone, ask them for it directly instead of HintDropping." James only realizes that D.W. wants a kiss from him when she outright tells him that she does.

D.W.'s name is supposed to be spelled with two periods. Also, the second Hilarious In Hindsight entry was bulleted wrong; see Example Indentation In Trope Lists.


* HilariousInHindsight: Two years before this episode aired, the album "Arthur's Really Rockin' Music Mix" included a cover of "Brass in Pocket" by ''Music/ThePretenders'', a song which tells of the female singer's attempt to get romantic attention from a man, sung in-character as D.W. This episode's premise is D.W. trying to get a kiss from a boy.
** DW being turned into a frog (in a fantasy sequence) after kissing James is funnier considering the plot of ''WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndTheFrog'', which came out six years after this episode's airing.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Did D.W. only want a kiss from James so she could live the fairy tale Emily told her, that a kiss from a boy would turn her into a princess, and James was the best choice to fullfill it because he chose her song to be played at naptime? Or does she legitimately have a crush on him?

* {{Squick}}: For some, the entire premise of the episode: a ''four-year-old'' seeking a kiss from a boy in a romatic context, and eventually succeeding.
