Plot[]

Little-Bill-Miss-Murray-mad

Miss Murray and Little Bill

One day at school, Little Bill and his friends are painting pictures of "Things We Like About Spring" to decorate the room's bulletin board. Little Bill them imagines himself painting and sung the "Spring Song" while painting flowers, a bee, baby birds, and a face on the sun. Little Bill is very proud of his painting of a spring day, with flowers and trees in a park. He is then snapped out of his imagination when Andrew, Fuchsia, and Kiku wanted to look at the picture but when Kiku tries to look closer, she accidentally knocks over the water used to rinse the brushes that spills on Little Bill's paper, ruining it. Close to tears over his wrecked hard work, Little Bill gasps, "Look what you did!" Kiku tries to apologize, but he just gets madder, and responds by crumpling up her paper. Kiku begins to cry and says, "Little Bill, I said I was sorry!" Little Bill doesn't understand why everyone "sides with her," and expects him to apologize. He doesn't feel sorry at all because Kiku started it. Miss Murray puts Little Bill in timeout as punishment, explaining that while she knows he is angry, he shouldn't have messed up Kiku's painting (even though she messed up his, which is not the same thing). When she explains the difference between how they wrecked each other's paintings, he thinks everyone is on Kiku's side. Miss Murray says that they are not taking sides, but what he did was wrong and didn't solve his problem and that he should apologize to her. He refuses and just wants to go home, which everyone will be going home soon. Miss Murray leaves him in the time-out chair while she cleans up the rest of the paint, but he doesn't care because he still isn't sorry.

When he gets home, Alice the Great has learned about his hard day (but not how it happened), and Little Bill tells her and Bobby about it (as she gives the boys a bowl of grapes to share), and Alice says that while she'd also be pretty upset if anything she liked very much got messed up, she is certain that Kiku didn't mean to wreck Little Bill's painting. Bobby offers to tell him a joke, but it doesn't make him laugh; however, he tells him to ask him if he needs another joke.

That night, he states to his parents that he doesn't want to go back to school. After guesses from Big Bill, all of which are answered, "no," he explains (when Brenda asks him what's wrong) what happened, and they talk to each other. Little Bill told them about the accident and said that Kiku messed up his drawing first and what Little Bill did was on purpose and he told them on how his drawing got ruined. Big Bill asks him if it was right to crumple up Kiku's picture to solve his problem and he says no, making him realize that what Kiku did was an accident, but what he did was on purpose because he was mad, making him understand that crumpling up her painting was the wrong way to treat her. He apologizes to his parents for what he did. His parents forgive him, but tell him that Kiku's the one that would really like to hear an apology. Little Bill still has doubts about apologizing as everyone else at school (including both Andrew and Fuchsia) are equally mad at him for what he's done, though his parents have a hunch that if he apogizes to his friends, then they won't be mad anymore.

The next day at school, Little Bill apologizes to Kiku for what he did to her painting yesterday, and offers to help make a new painting with her, thus restoring their friendship magic. And Little Bill told Kiku the same joke that Bobby told him and they laughed themselves silly. Andrew and Fuchsia come by, with the latter asking both Little Bill and Kiku if they're friends again, to which they answer yes. Andrew and Fuchsia are glad that the friendship between Little Bill and Kiku is restored, and they too make amends with Little Bill for what he did.

Trivia/Goofs[]

  • This is the second time Kiku cries. The first time was in Buds.
    • In Buds, Little Bill and Andrew got Fuchsia and especially Kiku mad after accidentally digging up their flowers. Here, it was Kiku’s turn to get Little Bill mad.
    • Like in Buds, Kiku got mad at Little Bill and Andrew, who said sorry but didn’t forgive them until the end like Little Bill did. And Kiku may have remembered the incident in Buds when she yelled at Little Bill and Andrew and should’ve accepted their apology and she overreacted and felt bad for yelling at them and hurting their feelings back then so she did apologize to Little Bill, who also overreacted too.
  • This is the same thing in Yo Gabba Gabba "Art" Season 2 Episode 18 where Muno accidentally kicked the yellow paint spilled on Foofa's painting and Foofa gets mad at Muno.
  • The same thing in Blue's Clues "Blue's Sad Day" Season 2, Episode 14 that green kitten spilled water on orange kitten's painting by mistake. Orange kitten wasn't mad at green kitten, she told green kitten how she feels and painted another picture together with green kitten.
  • Running Gags: Little Bill refusing to apologize.
