The most recent episode saw Iain Armitage’s 11-year-old Sheldon incurring an injury after a bike accident. A few scenes later, the viewers would meet Iain Armitage’s Sheldon and Reegan Revord’s Missy Cooper on a couch. In a matter of no time, Missy could be seen advising Sheldon that he must figure out a way of soothing himself. Shortly after which, Sheldon would begin singing the eminent lullaby ”Soft Kitty” to himself. This detail is what grabbed the attention of the fans.

It so happens that Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory (Played by Jim Parsons) is quite adamant about the use of the lullaby. One would have noticed that Sheldon had reserved “Soft Kitty” specifically for illnesses. Hence, when Kaley Cuoco’s Penny slipped in the shower and dislocated her shoulder, Sheldon did not croon the lullaby for her, even though she requested for the same while being on bed rest. But, eventually, Sheldon did sing Soft Kitty for her after Penny gave him a little bit of perspective. The change in the behaviour came upon after Penny stated that people who are physically injured and are on medication are equivalent to being sick. Perhaps this explanation by Penny is something that deems the “Soft Kitty” aspect of the show to be a non-plot-hole.
