Grouchy Mother's Day



 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 Mother's Day, on which people do nice things for their mothers 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 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 their  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 is, the  Grouch  gift that "keeps on givin'".

They argue again over who's was the smelliest gift, while their mother  think they both smell, but  Bunny  insists she made their  mother  angrier, but  Oscar  says she didn't.  Mrs. Grouch  says both her children 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 !! He snidely asks what Bunny  planned; she says she planned nothing, which makes her  mother  very, very angry. Bunny gloats, while  Mrs. Grouch  insists that although she loves listenin to her children argue constantly, they go to the dump, lettin' them argue on the way to the dump. After seeing too many nice things, Bunny  &  Mrs. Grouch  are packed up & ready to leave. Oscar stops & shows them 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 they both ruined her day, saying not every Mom is lucky enough to have 2 such rotten kids. Their plane arrives & they 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.
