What If They Were Competent?

by Mr. Chaos

The Stipulation: One chapter a day. 500 words or less. Every episode of Rugrats. The Challenge: What if the adults on Rugrats were actually good parents? Watched their kids? Thought ahead? DIDN'T think it was fine for babies to nearly die every 5 days? Tommy is about to have a very different life with Stu and Didi actually using their brains.

259. Daycare

Dayscare

"Didi, we wanted you to know that we aren't going to be having Chuckie and Kimi come over tomorrow," Kiri said. "We want to try out a new Daycare near where the coffee shop is going to be."

"Are you sure?" Didi asked. "I don't mind."

Chas though merely smiled. "We're going to have to come up with a plan for the kids eventually. After all you will be returning to work soon-"

~MC~MC~MC~

"Yeah, ever notice how after Didi did that ONE sub class she never worked again?" the Creator asked.

"Well, until Back to School when she decided to get her Masters," Trixie pointed out only to blink. "Wait, how do I know that?"

"I don't know, its almost like this is a quickly written fanfic that allows me to express the frustrations about the writing of a children's show but the rules of this world were never truly developed.

The creator then turned and looked right at you. Yes, you. The one reading this. He looked right at you.

"So let's just not question it, shall we?"

~MC~MC~MC~

"-so we want to test out some of the daycares, to see if any work for the kids."

Kira nodded. "If Kimi and Chuckie like it then we'll suggest the rest of the kids give it a try."

"That is a good point…" Didi said.

Chuckle shivered though in fear. "oh no… they are sending me to a Dayscare! That must be the scariest place ever!"

Angelica though rolled her eyes. "Do you have Play Doh in your ears?"

"I do," Phil commented.

"Day CARE, Finister! Not Scare. As in they CARE for you."

"Oh… well that doesn't sound so bad."

And it wasn't. Because for one it wasn't run by that Quack Shrink that had mysteriously disappeared. And Chas and Kira had made sure that it was a place that would know about Chuckie's more skittish behavior and be ready for it.

While it wasn't as fun as Tommy's place Chuckie and Kimi did have a good time, making it the perfect place for them to go if Didi turned out to be too busy.
