- Quotes
Georgie: [They're doing laundry, he opens the dryer door and pokes his head into it] Where does the water come out of?
George Sr.: Well, seeing as that's the dryer, nowhere.
Georgie: [Opens the lid of the washer] So this is the washer?
George Sr.: No fooling you.
Georgie: What are you doing?
George Sr.: Separating the whites from the colors.
Georgie: Whoa. That's racist.
George Sr.: [Talking to himself] How'd I wind up with a rocket scientist for one son and a rodeo clown for the other?
Georgie: Man, I'd give anything to be a rodeo clown. They make people happy and they get to see the rodeo for free.

Played on the radio during dinner when George comes in with beer.
"A Computer, a Plastic Pony, and a Case of Beer" is not an episode of "Young Sheldon" to laugh all the time, since involves an argument between parents that is not good for the children. Their perception is that the parents are going to divorce and they blame Sheldon that involuntarily caused the situation. Mary is a limited woman that does not work and lives in the fictional suburb of Medford, Texas. Therefore, she has the problem of women that do not work and need to save money from the shopping to have some of her own. Sad but reality in many families. My vote is eight.
