...where in the world are Oobi and Uma's parents? Did they ever address this issue? If they have I must have missed it. Not a big deal but I alway's wondered. Any insight would be cool.The answer? Their parents are never mentioned on the show, not even in passing. Personally, I really like how Grampu is their only guardian. Lots of kids grow up without two parents, and it's nice to see some representation of a non-traditional family on a show that so many little kids enjoy.
It's interesting to note that we actually see a photo of baby Oobi and Uma in the background of a few episodes. Grampu is younger in the picture -- with a sleek head of hair! -- but no parents in sight. So for all those Oobi analysts out there, we do know that Grampu's been taking care of his grandkids since they were babies.
