History
Nathaniel is a very bright boy who only appeared in a few episodes. In #451: “Life Trials of the Rich and Famous”, he finds out that his dad has earned a lot of money and, as a result, has become very wealthy.
In #426: “The Buck Starts Here”, as part of an experiment Whit is conducting, he gives Nathaniel, along with Ashley and Jared, a starting balance of $25 to use constructively in the next two weeks. If they try to build on it, they can keep it. If they don't build on it, he will take it back. The kids immediately start to work on their big ideas.
Mandy Straussberg, the secretary for Nathaniel, gives him some delicious muffins that convince him they should go into the muffin business. After some discussion, Mandy agrees to make muffins to sell if she can be a 50-50 partner with Nathaniel. Though all the kids want to spend their money constructively, they find obstacles to overcome; Nathaniel and Mandy's muffin business has too much competition.
When Whit comes back to see how everyone is doing, both Nathaniel and Ashley offer Whit's money back and tell him their struggles to make their businesses work. Luckily, both Nathaniel and Ashley are allowed to keep their money.

“ | Nathaniel Graham: I mean, I'm happy to be your friend, but we'd rather not let the neighbors know. Alex Jefferson: We don't have to be your friends if it's embarrassing to you! Sarah Prachett: We have other friends we can visit, y'know! Nathaniel Graham: Really? You could've fooled me. We've had to have the pinball machines recalibrated three times because you've been using them too much, and the filter in the pool had to be replaced four times because of excessive girl hair. I mean, I'm not complaining; we want to keep you as happy as possible. Without people like you on our side, who would pump our gas? |
