I Am Curious Ed

"I Am Curious Ed" is the 6th episode of Season 5 and the 108th episode of Ed, Edd n Eddy. In this episode, Sarah and Jimmy try to find out where babies come from after Jimmy's fish have babies.

Plot
Jimmy and Sarah were busy playing until they found that Jimmy's fish had babies. The two ask what every kid wonders at some time though: Where do babies come from? They both go to the other kids and later on the Eds to get an honest answer.

Getting a straightforward and honest answer, however, proves harder than Jimmy and Sarah had hoped because the question itself seems to provoke either giggles, fits or scorn in most of the other kids. First, they asked Kevin and Nazz where babies come from. Nazz blushed and laughed at the same time as she never heard of it. Kevin acts uneasy and says they grow on trees like apples. Next, they go to Jonny. He puts Jimmy and Sarah in the eggs and put Plank on top of them to simulate babies being born from eggs. When Jonny made Jimmy eat a worm, Sarah beats him up and they move on. After all that, they go to Rolf. He tells a story about babies and makes Jimmy and Sarah leave, telling them they are too young. In Eddy's case, if you didn't clean out your belly button, the lint would grow into a bab , which scared Jimmy and Edd comes into scene. It's beginning to look as if the little kids' question is not going to be answered but thankfully Edd - or Buzzy Double Bee comes to their rescue with his hive full of answers, workers and larval sacs.

Double Bee doesn't get it all his own way though because his educational party is soon crashed because it's only about bees rather than humans. Ed says that babies come from the stork and dresses as a stork who's determined to prove that he knows the real truth about where babies come from. After the Eds get into a fight that turns physical, Sarah and Jimmy give up on them and leave to eat a snack. The Eds realizes they are gone, stop fighting and bicker amongst each other about a baby's origins. Eddy says that they both don't know where babies come from and he does. Ed is dumb, but as Eddy soon finds out the answer he delivers is a big uplift. Ed then proves to Edd that babies come from storks by grasping Eddy with his teeth, flies to a house and drops him down the chimney. Eddy begins to cry and Ed says he is crying like a newborn baby while Edd watches, shocked at Ed's ability to fly. Edd asks Ed how he did it, and Ed shows him by jumping off the roof and flaps his arms and flies! For two seconds anyway and he falls down, hitting his head.

Trivia/Goofs

 * We learned in this episode that Ed can fly if he flaps his arms quickly.
 * We learn that Eddy's Brother told Eddy a convoluted version of where babies come from.
 * This is the second time the Eds hardly appear in an episode until near the end. The first time was in the episode "See No Ed".
 * We learn that Jimmy has two pet fish named Fish and Chips (and their unnamed babies).
 * We learn in this episode that Edd can knit.
 * Edd's and Jonny's explanations were the only ones that were accurate (just not for human babies).
 * Sarah and Jimmy were the only ones that were not in their regular set of clothes throughout the whole episode.
 * Edd once again says "Knit one, pearl two". The first time was in the episode "Rent-a-Ed".
 * Ed's explanation is the one commonly used by parents who aren't ready to tell their children where babies really come from.
 * Ed asserts twice that "The head stayed on".
 * Ed repeats his explanation of storks six times.
 * 78th time the Kankers didn't appear.
 * Explanations of where babies come from:
 * Nazz: Laughed inappropriately and did not even help explain anything about the baby topic
 * Kevin: Trees, like apples
 * Jonny: Bird eggs
 * Rolf: Did not tell them where babies come from because he said Sarah and Jimmy were too young to know
 * Ed: Said they are delivered by storks (which he does with Eddy)
 * Eddy: They grow from belly button lint if you don't clean it out
 * Edd: He proceeds to show them a slide show of how bees have babies (which later could've gone on to humans, but wasn't shown)


 * Goof: Jimmy calls the hive a "bumblebee hive." This is inaccurate. Actual bumblebees live independently. Honey bees live in hives.
 * Jimmy's dragon costume is similar to Barney the Dinosaur, except the green belly, has sharp teeth, and lacks the yellow toes.
 * A running gag in this episode is that Sarah and Jimmy try to find out where babies come from, but they get an answer that is somewhat not completely accurate.
