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. 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 better, 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.

They argue again over who's was the worst gift, while their mother  think they're both bad. Mrs. Grouch is 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 angry. Bunny gloats, while  Mrs. Grouch  insists they go to the dump, allowing them to argue on the way. After seeing too many nice things, Bunny  &  Mrs. Grouch  are packed up & ready to leave. Oscar stops them & 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 the day too. Mrs. Grouch says they both ruined her day, saying not every Mom is lucky enough to have 2 such rotten kids. Their plane arrived & they are launched up to it through Oscar 's  trash can. Oscar wants to thank his neighbors for helping, 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.
