The Terrible Two's Last Laugh / int_1484dba1	comment	Foreshadowing: When Miles goes to the jeweler to purchase a brass plaque, the shopkeeper confuses the name "Miles" for "Niles" and remarks that it's funny without elaborating. A chapter later, it's revealed that Miles and Niles pulled the exact same prank, having gone to the same jeweler.

The Terrible Two's Last Laugh / int_1ba17583	type	The Ghost
The Terrible Two's Last Laugh / int_1ba17583	comment	The Ghost: Niles’s parents. We see the families of Miles, Principal Barkin, and even Stuart and Holly. Despite this, we never see Niles’s parents. Neither does Niles. This trope also applies to Scotty, who is name-dropped several times (even plays a part in the plot) but is never assigned an illustration.

The Terrible Two's Last Laugh / int_34dcfc96	comment	Kick the Dog: Bertrand Barkin is particularly cruel in this one, particularly when he gets the private news that Miles will be moving away and immediately tells him about it at school, ruining the afterglow of his and Niles' successful April Fools prank. Even the narrator calls him cruel and awful.
