Grouchy Mother's Day

 Earliest Known Appearance: Episode 4237  Grouchy Mother ' s Day  is a national  Grouch  holiday on which  Grouches  do everything that they can to make their mothers  EXTREMELY  angry. This holiday has been celebrated in Sesame Street episode 4237. Oscar ' s  mom  & sister  Bunny  visit Sesame Street to see  Oscar  for this holiday. This holiday is a parody  of the regular Mot her ' s Day, on which peo ple do nice things for the ir mot hers in order to make them feel both special & loved.

Oscar presents  his   mother   his  stinky fish, of which there are 6. Bunny 1 ups with by saying  she  has  a dozen  fish ( twice as many ). She counts each 1 as  she  tosses them each out of  her  bag. The last of which is in her  cosmetics case & knocks  Oscar  over. Oscar &  Bunny  argue over who ' s fish are stinkier, , while  the  ir   mother  states that they both stink. Oscar ' s next gift is  his   mother  ' s favorite perfume, Aude de  Skunk  # 9. Bunny once again puts  his  gift to shame by giving the same scent, but using a real  skunk  , which is , as  Bunny  calls it , the  Grouch  gift that " keeps on givin ' ".

Th ey  argue again over who ' s was the smelliest gift, while  the  ir   mother  thinks they both smell , but  Bunny  insists  she  made  The  ir   mother  angrier , but  Oscar  says  she  didn ' t. Mrs . Grouch says both  her   chil  dren  make  her  angry & now  she  ' s ready for more gifts, but  Oscar  has something else in mind - a trip to the dump , as they just got a fresh load of  trash  in ! ! He  snidely asks what  Bunny  planned ;  she  says  she  planned nothin at all, which makes  her   mother  very , very angry. Bunny gloats, while  Mrs . Grouch  insists that although  she  loves listenin to  her   chil  dren  argue constantly ,  th  e  y  go to the dump , lettin  th  em  argue on the way to the dump. After seeing too many nice things, Bunny  &  Mrs . Grouch  are packed up & ready to leave. Oscar stops & lets  th  em  see  his  final gift. Gordon, Bob & Chris are dressed in rotten attire & have adopted Grouchy  attitudes ( or as  Grouchy  as they can provide ). They then sing an a capella song  to  Mrs . Grouch  about  Grouchy  Mother ' s Day. She is so mad at the sweetness of  his  gift, saying  he  ' s ruined  Grouchy  Mother ' s Day , which means it was a great success ! !

Oscar rubs it in  Bunny  ' s face, who tries to say  she  ruined it too. Mrs . Grouch says  th  ey  both ruined  her  day, saying not every Mom is lucky enough to have 2 such rotten  ki  ds. The ir  plane arrives &  th  ey  are launched up to it through  Oscar  ' s  trash can. Oscar wants to thank  his  neighbors for helpin  him , but  he  ' s a  Grouch  &  he  doesn ' t thank anyone. Chris & Gordon aren ' t sure what happened, but Bob goes off thinking they still enjoyed the song.
