@@Surikaatmakes sense to me, IIRC there’s a few episodes where Arthur opens the fridge and there’s just like, a whole cake in there for no reason. His dad is a baker tho….
Maybe you should check out the "FU D.W." series; there's a running gag about Mr. Read having a long-term affair with Mr. Ratburn (since Ratburn eventually married an aardvark who is also a chef).
He wanted Arthur to see the Spring Reading list 😂 Also, there was an episode where Mr. Ratburn's house roof collapsed or something, and he stayed with Arthur's family for a bit.
