Actually, they often don’t realise what’s happening around them, and it has landed them the nicknames Numbskull and Nincompoop!
Drawing chalk on the airport runway and burning down the neighbour’s house accidently on purpose are everyday shenanigans in their world.

So you probably won’t be surprised to discover that when Monty and Mandy hear their teacher talking about the science fair, they think it’s all about being fair and writing signs.
After they sort out that mix up, they get to work making something really cool for the fair … in between distractions and more shenanigans. Can Monty and Mandy get their act together for the the big event? No one else thinks they can.
