Playing Sick
 Clarice Bean / int_1320d787
comment
Playing Sick: Clarice fakes being sick (making up a lie about a "headacheish tummy ache that's causing [her] limbs to feel a bit detatched"), but it backfires when Mrs. Tuesday gives her a boring babysitter.

Unspoken Retort
 Clarice Bean / int_29fb3af0
comment
Unspoken Retort: Mrs. Wilberton says to Clarice Bean, "You are utterly lacking in the concentration department, and a common housefly has more ability to apply itself". Clarice notes that she wants to reply, "Well, you are utterly lacking in the manners department, and a hippopotamus has more politeness than you!", but she won't because teachers are allowed to be rude, but not students.

Mistaken for Thief
 Clarice Bean / int_461aad62
comment
Mistaken for Thief: The trophy for a competition goes missing and Mrs Wilberton thinks Karl Wrenbury stole it, but Clarice Bean and Betty Moody know he didn't do it because he said so and Karl always boasts about naughty things he's done, so they play detective to figure out what really happened to the cup. Clarice, during her investigation, suspects Mrs Wilberton, Toby Hawkling (another prankster, but he usually only pranks with Karl) and Grace Grappelo, who didn't steal it either. It turned out to only have been taken to be cleaned.

Does Not Like Spam: Clarice describes bread and butter pudding as her "worst utter pudding". The in-series fictional character Ruby Redfort hates tapioca pudding, to the point where she uses it as a code for "bad news".

Out-of-Context Eavesdropping

comment
Played straight when Clarice overhears a relative talking on the phone about "more space" and "another bathroom", then sees her mother looking on the real estate, and concludes that she and her family will be moving house. She is right that someone is moving house, but it's actually her friend Betty, not herself.

Right for the Wrong Reasons: Played straight when Clarice overhears a relative talking on the phone about "more space" and "another bathroom", then sees her mother looking on the real estate, and concludes that she and her family will be moving house. She is right that someone is moving house, but it's actually her friend Betty, not herself. Subverted when, after she learns that Betty is the one who's moving and Clarice's house is just being renovated, she notices her parents being uncharacteristically grumpy and arguing despite usually getting along well. Seeing as she'd previously thought Betty's parents were getting a divorce, but they were moving house instead, and she'd also previously thought she was moving house, she then concludes that her parents must be getting a divorce, but she's wrong — nobody is getting a divorce.

The Food Poisoning Incident: Mr. Tuesday pretends that he has food poisoning so he can go out of work to go to his daughter Clarice's school production. Unfortunately, her classmates Noah and Suzy feed him bad sushi, which actually gives him food poisoning.

Subverted. Clarice hears her parents arguing and thinks they're getting a divorce (because they usually never argue) but they don't.

Moving Angst
 Clarice Bean / int_d75b5f08
comment
Moving Angst: Clarice, who is going through a bit of a worrywart phase, overhears her mother talking about "more space" and an extra bathroom. This, combined with the mother having previously looked at real estate, makes Clarice worry that she and her family are moving house. She frets excessively over it, to the point of literally losing sleep and writing it on her list of "worst worries". Luckily, however, the house is only being renovated and they're not moving.
