Strangely enough, what Mary does to try and lure him out works. She gives him enough space and time to decide for himself if he wants to join the group. By making everyone not pay attention to him when he re-enters, social interaction isn't forced upon him. Howard talking to him would have just made it an obligation rather than his choice. Leonard being an ass and confronting him directly forces the issue and causes him to retreat. She's not that bad at interacting with someone like Sheldon. For reference, I have social anxiety and probably have high-functioning autism while my brother behaves exactly like Sheldon.

Well...while a nervous, stray dog isn't a totally inaccurate comparison, she didn't say it's not a big deal in that quote. She said it's like a baby deer, and between freezing & turning around while they're all watching him and then running away when Leonard aggressively confronted him, that is EXACTLY how deer (of ALL ages) act when they sense other people in their vicinity. For the record - I've never hunted, I just grew up across the street from a nice woodsy area and would go hiking with my brother and/or neighborhood friends ALL the time. I couldn't have laughed harder at this scene, even if I tried.

I am asian and I grew up in the deep south (oklahoma, georgia, and alabama), so I've definitely seen folks like Mary when I was there

[@gregf4416]

Yup, you'd definitely find them there. Pretty much follows the political map of red states. America is infested with them.

[@tonyathreadgill6252]

Its funny how Sheldon mother and Howard mother were both like moms to the whole gang. Leonard mom isnt like that with the others she is more heartless and not so nurturing which is why he has issues which is really sad to say the least.

[@souravray9439]

This casting of Sheldon's mother was gold ❤

[@EdgyMile]

Mary Cooper is a Queen.

[@venomfuryx3250]

"Shhh, don't spook him" lol

[@gvlahopoulos]

“You don’t hunt, do you?”😂😂

[@reggea4ever]

You dont hunt do yah?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@hopeicanchangethis]

I wish the telling of the past from Big Bang Theory actually matched up to what happens in Sheldons as a kid Show

[@erichanastacio9695]

That's probably Earth 2.

[@4572dk]

@@erichanastacio9695 hahahahaha nice one

[@lineshaftrestorations7903]

"...fell out of me at the K-Mart" This is a detail not explored in Young Sheldon.

[@georgesmith2497]

There is no way they had a dog. Sheldon is terrified of dogs.

[@DeMan59]

Interesting how she instinctively sat in Sheldons spot. Lol. Now we know where he got that from.

[@haileym5912]

I know Mary is trying to be nice with the talking to Raj about what animals he is able to eat, but what she said was so messed up

[@RANDOM-KNIGHT145]

0:33 So thats where Sheldon gets his condescension lol

[@iamalongusername]

I liked this version of Penny a lot better

[@Tkdriverx]

"...when he fell out of me at K mart" Hm, maybe that explains a few things regarding Sheldon

[@rogerosborn2143]

Roflmao 😂😂😂 the mom says I hope chicken is not one of the animal you consider magic

[@rogerosborn2143]

The best part was the whole show was funny funny I don't have all season only 1 thru 10

[@luciagilgsthmrvls]

Sheldon was so cute when coming out like that 😆😆❤

[@ScytheGremory]

I love how shes not actually racist but she just says so wild shiit. In context though she is actually being considerate. Love the reference to young sheldon if you didn't know that was an episode they had.

[@KeeperCharlie]

Minor plot confliction here if anyone caught it; Mary said Sheldon's device pissed off "our dog to no end", when we know that Sheldon literally terrified of dogs and their family never had a dog.

[@segalliongaming8925]

You can’t make shows with characters like Mary Cooper anymore …

[@justinvanveenar2953]

The Wild Sheldon has appeared 🤣😂

[@mariasvard1701]

Howard looks particularly beautiful in here..

[@steves2694]

LOL at how many TBBT scenes involve the cast eating food.

[@pie.x]

I didn’t know they had a dog back then? I don’t think they have a dog in the Young Sheldon series. Or I could be wrong since I haven’t watched YS in a long time.

[@chesstheshih-tzu3046]

Sheldon is terrified of dogs...

[@0megacron]

She said it was when Sheldon was 13, so maybe they got a dog later on?

[@danielmaher7108]

Laurie Metcalf is truly a national treasure
