In that sense, the Mexican portal Terra explains that one of the main reasons behind this mystery is that Jirafales and Doña Florinda were not married, so showing their coexistence might not be to the liking of the conservative society of the time in which the show began airing.
But, there is a slightly murky theory to explain the heart of the matter. According to the aforementioned media, the hypothesis postulates that Doña Florinda and the teacher would be living an extramarital relationship. Reason why he couldn’t stay at his beloved’s house.

This would find its justification in some photos of the professor, in which he is seen wearing a wedding ring. In this situation, it is important to remember that Quico’s father died on a trip to the high seas, since he was a sailor. Therefore, the lady would be free of commitment.
In addition, Terra comments that ‘Chespirito’ liked to use his programs as a reflection of society, therefore, it would not be strange if they tried to represent all kinds of situations, no matter how crazy they may seem, even taking into account that it is of a children’s program.
Still, Milenio reveals that the reason behind Aguirre’s wedding ring is a production error, as staff members forgot to ask the actor to remove it.
