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 her s 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 & then it 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.
