[edit] Comments on rod and todds age

In an episode named Lisa's first word It seems that the flander todd is the eldest because he is about bart's age when he is a baby and rod is know where to be seen. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.45.155.89 (talk • contribs).

...and that's the flexible reality of the Simpsons!

[edit] Age

I have edited the information boxes to the right of the article to reflect the ages that have been heard on screen. Height is not a reliable indication of a child's age (especially a pre-pubescent one). Todd was mentioned as being ten at the golf tournament and Rod turned ten in season 7. Obviously we have to take the "true" age of any television character with a grain (or entire bag) of salt but I believe it is more accurate to give the on-screen ages instead of saying "probably 10" and "probably 12". However, if future episodes contradict past episodes it will be worth noting in the "age discrepancy" section I have created. 195.93.21.40 16:36, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

I know for a fact that Todd is definately older than 8. This is because he and todd both play with Bart in episode 9F08 "Lisa's First Word".The sound 00:46, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Todd is a contemporary of Bart, thus his brother Rod is older, but this changes from time to time.

[edit] Jealous of girls

Which of them actually said this? ("I'm jealous of girls, because they get to wear dresses") The article says it was Rod, but this contradicts http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/The_Simpsons which quotes Todd. Google results are mixed, but seem to sligtly favour Rod. Gavinatkinson 13:18, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure it was Todd. --Ted87 20:01, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rod Flanders' section

Rod's section of the article is copied from the Simpsons' official site (see [1]). Someone please correct this. 82.39.52.221 18:03, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
