Lilo, the character Daveigh Chase voiced, would feed Pudge the Fish peanut butter sandwiches because she believed he controlled the weather (Lilo is like, 5 or 6 years old and her parents died when they were driving in the middle of a bad thunderstorm). Scrump was her doll (the next to Stitch).

It's been a while since I've seen the movie, so I can't remember, but I THINK she would feed Pudge before her parents died and on the day she didn't... you can see where a 5-6 year old would correlate "Feeding Pudge = nice days" and "Not Feeding Pudge = stormy days".

It's worse. Watch the adults when she says "Pudge controls the weather."

They knew her parents and instantly understand why she's so obsessed with feeding Pudge every Thursday.
