Line 15:
* [[All Women Love Shoes]]: A one-week storyline involved Zoe [https://web.archive.org/web/20140927194157/http://www.babyblues.com/archive/index.php?formname=getstrip&GoToDay=11%2F02%2F2009 practically falling in love] with a pair of pink cowgirl boots.
* [[Animated Adaptation]]: Didn't last long.
* [[Large Ham Announcer]]: Zoe, for a lot of examples. [https://web.archive.org/web/20130615131859/http://www.babyblues.com/archive/index.php?GoToDay=1999-07-26 Here's an old one.]▼
* [[Annoying Younger Sibling]]: Hammie and Wren to Zoe.

* [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick]]: One babysitter had a taser among her equipment.
* [[Bratty Half-Pint]]: Zoe and/or Hammie on different occasions.
* [[Brick Joke]]: Wanda attempts to wean Hammie off the pacifier because she read a survey that babies if not weaned from them soon will be too attached to them. A much later strip has Hammie, no longer a baby, still sucking on his pacifier in secret.
Line 45:
*** On the other hand, many children's relative heights don't correspond with their relative ages and Zoe could have started school late.
* [[Comically Missing the Point]]:
{{quote|'''Hammie:''' Can I watch TV while we eat?
'''Wanda:''' No. Let's just have a conversation.

'''Wanda:''' Perfect.
'''Hammie:''' Hey dad. Wouldn't it be great if we could watch TV while we ate dinner? }}

* [[First Snow|First Snowflakes:]] In 2000, when Hammie was still a baby, Zoe taught him how to catch snowflakes on his tongue.
{{quote|'''Zoe:''' (after Hammie cringes at the taste) "Nope, they only come in one flavor."}}
* [[Funetik Aksent]]: This was how Zoe's and Hammie's baby-talk was represented.
* [[Gag Nose]]: Darryl.
Line 79:
** The most common one is Rhonda, Wanda's little sister. Her parents are always complaining about how she doesn't have kids or a husband.
** This only happened once, since Darryl and Wanda have three children now, but in an early strip Darryl and Wanda invited both sets of their parents to spend Christmas with them. In the middle of the night, Mac, Hugh, and Maggie are in a line waiting for Pauline to be finished rocking baby Zoe, and Pauline says to Darryl "This wouldn't happen if you had another baby."
* [[Kids Prefer Boxes]]: [
▲* [[Large Ham Announcer]]: Zoe, for a lot of examples. [https://web.archive.org/web/20130615131859/http://www.babyblues.com/archive/index.php?GoToDay=1999-07-26 Here's an old one.]
* [[Lethal Chef]]: One strip had Wanda asking Zoe to ask Darryl if he needed any help cooking dinner. Zoe then asks while Darryl was using a fire extinguisher on a burning pan while shouting repeatedly "OH NO!" Zoe misinterpreted it as him just saying "oh no" to her question.

Line 122 ⟶ 123:

* [[You Never Did That for Me]]: Though in most cases, it would be a sibling trope, this one happened comparing the children and their parents. Darryl's parents and Wanda's parents were invited for Christmas, and on Christmas day Darryl and Wanda look at their small number of presents as baby Zoe sits beside her large pile.

'''All grandparents:'''
* [[Youthful Freckles]]: Hammie.
