She made bad decisions late in life. With a surprisingly cute outcome!

[iceyred]

He might be adopted.

[(Anonymous)]

But...aren't there like, ten more of him that all look the same and have the same colors and design as Mrs. Potts?



And here I am, asking myself about tableware adoption.

[othellia]

Honestly I always wondered about all the other plates and dishes and glasses and silverware. There were literally hundreds of them in Be Our Guest, even taking into consideration his status as a prince it really didn't seem like there should've been that many culinary-focused servants in the castle.

[(Anonymous)]

Haha, maybe only some of them were actual humans and the others were just magical spoons and plates and shit.

[iceyred]

Yeah, I'm going to go with this. If the object didn't have a speaking part, I'm assuming it was a regular object that had majiked into sentience.

CHIP'S BROTHERS AND SISTERS AND FRIENDS TURNED BACK INTO REGULAR CUPS. HOW'S THAT FOR CHILDHOOD TRAUMA?

[(Anonymous)]

When they turned back into humans the many brothers were gone! There was just Chip. It all makes sense now.

[wldcatsprstr_14]

I call my grandmother 'Mama.' Could just be that.

[tasogare_n_hime]

Brothers, and sisters do get mentioned so he may have just been the youngest in a large family. fairy tale or not, BatB does seem to be set in a time where people had a lot of kids.

[(Anonymous)]

Foxy granny teapot!

[(Anonymous)]

When I was a kid I was SO confused about this. Grandma or mother?! I still can't decide.

[transcriptanon]

[Picture is Mrs. Potts, a talking teapot, speaking with her son Chip, a talking teacup, while Cogsworth, a small talking pendulum clock, looks on fondly. They all have human mouths and eyes. They were human servants working in a castle who were cursed to transform along with their master, from the Disney animated film "The Beauty and the Beast".]

Mrs. Potts always seemed more of an age to be Chip's grandmother than mother to me

[(Anonymous)]

"They all have human mouths and eyes" made me laugh for some reason haha.

[(Anonymous)]

I think I always assumed he was really the oldest teacup daughter's kid but nobody talks about it. Sure, Mrs. Potts is his 'mother'...

[ariakas]

Not that, uh, cartoon teacups really need a realistic explanation, but during the time when Beauty and Beast took place, the rate of children born to women in their mid-late 40s was exponentially greater than it is today (http://humupd.oxfordjournals.org/content/11/3/261/F3.expansion.html). Why? In modern times, women get tubal ligations when they're done having children, which is generally in their 20s-30s, or use birth control carefully after that. Before those things were possible, every time you had sex you risked getting pregnant, right up until menopause. Back in that time, a woman in her 50s with very young children of her own would have been quite commonplace.

[dragonimp]

This. I always figured he was a change-of-life baby.

[(Anonymous)]

There's always been birth control. Not as reliable as big pharma but it was out there. Mrs. Potts looks 60, not 40, even for back in the day. She had a fairly cushy position, she wasn't a field laborer.

[ariakas]

Yes, but unreliable birth control results in a ton of pregnancies. And if she had a child in her mid-late-40s, she'd be in her 50s now, not "40". Do people with cushy positions never have sex?

[(Anonymous)]

Perhaps anon above means that she hasn't worked hard enough to age prematurely, not that people with cushy positions don't have sex.

[electromouse]

Ngl when I was young, I thought he was an orphan and that Ms. Potts adopted him. He was aware of this, but still called her "mama", because she had raised him.

Yeah.

[(Anonymous)]

I personally think that's because she's Angela Lansbury.

[(Anonymous)]

There are documentated cases of women naturally conceiving children after the age of fifty. It's not impossible.
