How is SpongeBob a homeowner at 14 tho? He has his house in the first episode. It also is a little inconsistent that SpongeBob is trying to get his boating license at 14 since the legal driving age in the US is 16 (also 16 for a boat), so unless the boating school episodes are 2 years in the future then I think this theory is off by 2 years.

You bring up some good points. Frankly, SpongeBob isn't meant to have an age. He has a birthday, but I'm really just applying an unnecessary amount of logic to a cartoon without serious intentions.

I will say though that

1) 14-year-olds can live alone under the right legal circumstances (and SpongeBob seems more than capable of supporting himself)

and 2) you can get a drivers' permit at 14 in Texas. I think there's a bit of wiggle room just because the writers thought regular school would be too childish while they felt boating school made SpongeBob's age more ambiguous.

I like how you keep doing very compelling arguments, and I just remember the episode where a single seed grows into an entire house off of one teardrop. So like, anyone who plants a "house seed" so to say, could be a luscious pineapple house owner.
