[[caption-width-right:1000:ConeOfShame!]] Muffin can't stop sucking her thumb,
Unable to play Sandwich Shop, Muffin sadly sits at the back of the garden, until Chilli gently encourages the girls to play a game that Muffin can join. The girls start brainstorming and soon discover there are ''lots'' of games Muffin can play with her cone. Seeing how unhappy the cone made her daughter (and realizing how hard it is for even a grownup to break a bad habit), Trixie decides to find a different way to help Muffin stop thumb-sucking.
By the following week, Muffin's gotten better at controlling her thumb-sucking--but on the way to her next playdate, she makes her dad put on her Cone of Shame on purpose, so that she and her cousins can have more fun with it.

** If you want your kids to break a habit, let them know that they will break it on their own time, not just when you tell them to or when you want them to.
** Although it's hard to look on the bright side of a bad situation, it's makes things better for it. Muffin initially resigns to the idea she'll never have fun again as long as she's stuck with her cone. But once the girls invert her cone, they think up all sorts of new games to play with it.

* NotSoAboveItAll: Trixie and Chili debate on whether it's a good idea to put the cone of shame on Muffin so she can stop sucking her thumb. Trixie is all for the cone, only expressing doubt at the fact that three-years-old isn't such an old age for thumb-sucking. She voices that it's all in the name of practicing self-control, all the while Chili puts out corn chips. Despite talking about self-control, Trixie can't help eating the chips out of simple habit, despite that it's not healthy for her. When she comes to term with her own lack of self-control, the double standard is not lost on her.
