PlotEdit

SpongeBob and Patrick are playing with the rubber bands from their newspapers . They spot a baby scallop in a coral tree, which they name "Junior " and decide to adopt, with SpongeBob as the Mom and Patrick as the Dad. However, SpongeBob has to do all the work to care for the baby as, Patrick has to go to work. Patrick promises to take a turn caring for the baby, which he repeatedly fails to fulfill. Eventually, SpongeBob angrily lashes out at Patrick, who then gets fed up and decides to go back to "work". SpongeBob follows him, and finds out that "work" consists of Patrick watching television under his rock.Then SpongeBob opens up Patrick's briefcase and dumps ice cream and donuts all over Patrick, then the two begin to fight, until they see Junior jumping a two story window out. They try to catch him, but fail and begin crying for him, believing him to be no longer alive and proclaiming themselves "bad parents". However, then they realize that Junior's alive and well, and has learned to fly. After Junior kisses SpongeBob and flies away, Patrick asks " Hey! what about Daddy?" Junior drops a coconut on Patrick's head, who responds "That's my boy". After the parents say goodbye to their son, Patrick says "Let's have another", and SpongeBob makes a shocked face as the episode ends.

TriviaEdit

• When SpongeBob is wearing hair rollers on his head, he has orange hair.
• Normally in the show, worms are parodied as dogs, while snails are parodied as cats. Yet in this episode the worm was actually a real worm. This possibly because it comes from the land, not the sea.
• The worm is almost similar to a 1946 Classic Cartoon Quentin Quail.
• This is perhaps the most controversial episode to date due to the homosexuality references (SpongeBob and Patrick living together, having a child - possibly a reference to gay marriage)
• The SpongeBob puppet in the beginning of the episode blinks his eyes and looks at Patrick.
• 29th time Squidward doesn't appear.
• The title is a pun of the traditional lullaby "Rock-a-Bye Baby" since the title is referring to the baby clam.
• Patrick reveals he has worn diapers for almost a year after changing Junior for the first time, but in most of his other appearances he is shown wearing briefs. Another time he was seen wearing diapers was in "Money Talks".
• In certain countries, Patrick's line "Let's have another." along with Spongebob's shocked reaction to the quote were cut out.
• The face SpongeBob makes when he gets really angry at Patrick and screams "OVERTIME!" has become popular on YouTube.
• The "12:00 Midnight" time card is the title card for "The Algae's Always Greener"
• This is the first episode that has the most time cards with five of them.
• SpongeBob stores used diapers in the refrigerator, the couch, and the walls. While these are all weird places to put diapers, the refrigerator is the worst, as it's never a good idea to put used diapers anywhere near food.
• This is the second episode involving clam poop. In Sleepy Time, during Sandy's dream, she falls into a truck of clam manure.
• Patrick doesn't have a nose, but he actually was smelling Junior's stinky breath.

ErrorsEdit

• In the scene after the tomorrow time card, SpongeBob is shown with a black tie, and changes back to red in the next scene.
• When SpongeBob and Patrick are trying to grab Junior before he fell to the ground, there are various closed captioning errors.
• Junior's mouth stops moving when he's crying and it doesn't match the lip sync on his mouth.
• When Spongebob and Patrick are trying to catch Junior, Spongebob says "come to daddy," but Spongebob was the mommy.
• In the end of the episode scene, when Juinor swims away as a grown-up, he swims in the wrong manner. Bi-valve fish use their mouths to push theirselfs backward, not forwards.
