- Most of things Josh says or does involves a lot of humor.
- In the Absent Author, Ruth Rose’s first appearance consists of her screaming goodbye to her mother and Josh telling her that he doesn’t know what’s louder: her outfit or her voice.
- Dink’s post Halloween Hair. That is all.
- Anytime Josh talks about food.
- This exchange:
- Josh: Can you guess what I am?Ruth Rose: A green sheet torn into strips.
- In The Orange Outlaw, the trio, Uncle Warren, and his friends decide to capture the main antagonists by Dink, Josh, and Ted hiding in a garage and Detective Costello and Frost and Ruth Rose being a family for Ruth Rose’s “birthday”. Unfortunately, Josh ruins it by accidentally opening the garage door. Way to go, Josh.
- Mighty Josh brains!
- Sammi’s fur allergy in The Kidnapped King:
- Sammi(when meeting Loretta): I am allergic to fur! Don’t let it out!
- And when he meets Pal:Sammi(on a chair): Keep it away! I am allergic!
This in The Canary Caper:
- Josh: One little cookie wouldn’t kill you, Ruth Rose.Ruth Rose: Josh, this is a stakeout, not Ellie’s diner.Josh: Cops eat on stakeouts.Ruth Rose: JOSH! SHHH!
- In The Empty Envelope, in order to catch the theives red-handed, Ruth Rose calls them, acting like a tough guy. And, of course, Dink and Josh are barely able to contain their laughter.
