The [[Sandersons|Sandersons family]] is going through financial problems. [[Jenny]] is their eight-year old daughter who wears a Frog Costume all day and thinks she is a [[Frogs|Frog]]. [[Mr. Sanderson]] is the unemployed father of the family. He quits his company without telling [[Mrs. Sanderson]], which makes her mad at him, especially since he keeps buying new [[Drake Redcrest]] toys without telling her. She eventually ends up locking herself in her [[bedroom]] and threatens divorce. [[Tao]], the dog of the family, also interacts with Chibi-Robo. | The [[Sandersons|Sandersons family]] is going through financial problems.
