[@Caseytify]

They loaded her down with every conceivable stereotypical fundamentalist tic, yet she still can across as one of the kindest characters in the series. And for all the literalists out there, the TBBT scripts were littered with lines about Sheldon's father that had nothing to do with the later show, like fighting a bobcat, or the family having a dog.

Well in this situation you are 100% correct, cause it's Sheldon but you know in real life with normal people like you and me, I believe close friends understand us way better than our own family because usually we behave differently in front of our parents and try to hide our dark secrets from them.

Those who keep saying : so many mistakes, this isn’t how it is in Young Sheldon Well, guess what, this scene was written years before Young Sheldon was even thought of ! And it’s pretty difficult to perfectly plan a work of fiction for at least 10 seasons and a 5 seasons spin-off without any plot holes or anachronism because when they start writing the show, they can’t even be certain that this will go beyond the 1st season ! So they can’t decide « Oh my, we can’t mention a dog because in 2 seasons we’re gonna mention he hates dogs and in 15 years, we’re gonna write the spin-off without a dog ! » or remember 4 seasons later « wait, we can’t make him hate dogs for the plot of this episode , he mentioned 62 episodes ago that he had a dog ! » That’s how hard it is to write a very looooooooong work of fiction. And more importantly : it’s fiction ! Do you really expect to make as much sense as if it were reality ?
