You can go nuts if you get TOO strict. I like keeping to theme, but "willing suspension of disbelief" has to enter in at some point.

You thought it was bad when they told us that Goofy decided to move to the pier, set up a chicken farm, then switch it over to a flight school, just wait until they try to give of fifteen layers of backstory for why Mary Poppins ended up in Missouri (I'm pretty sure that the wind won't blow her in that direction).

Besides that, she's not dressed like a baker. She wears her jolly holiday outfit most of the time and would get it stained with powdered sugar, strawberry jam, chocolate and other stuff they always use for baking. ORGOCH: Heck! Ya got stains all over yer own dang self all the time an' ya don't even work at a bak'ry, ya dumb cluck! (Sounds of slams and bams followed by a deadly calm...)
Originally Posted By ralphjr Mary Poppins Bakery Backstory: Young Marceline Hyperion was born and raised in Missouri. Her parents owned a small, but busy bakery and everything seemed to be going well until a tornado hit their small town. Little Marceline, who was outside at the time holding an umbrella, was carried away by the high winds. The town was devastated and everyone assumed the worst. To honor her memory, the town was renamed "Marceline". Meanwhile, in London, Sir Yale Poppins was taking a leisurely stroll when a child fell from the sky holding an umbrella. He caught her and asked her what her name was. She didn't know, so he took her to his wife Katella Poppins, who had always wanted a daughter. They named her "Mary Poppins" and she became the practically perfect nanny we all adore. Years later, an unruly child threw a shoe at Mary, hitting her in the head. Mary instantly got her memory back, remembering that she was really "Marceline Hyperion". After admonishing the child with a song about not throwing shoes at people, Mary/Marceline quit her job and flew back to the U.S., where she was able to find her way to Marceline. Unfortunately, her father was on his death bed, but he was comforted to see his darling "Marceline" return. Devastated by the death of her father, Mary/Marceline vowed to continue running the bakery with her mother and a "Practically Perfect" bakery was born!
