She uses the time to practice scat singing when Snuffy and Kaitlyn invite her to jump rope, begging her to join. Grundgetta emerges, disgusted by all their use of the word "please," and convinces Athena to keep singing since that's what she really wants to do. Snuffy and Kaitlyn understand and move along, while Alex praises Grundgetta's impromptu lesson on peer pressure. Athena then drives Grundgetta away with her singing, refusing to leave when the Grouch tells her to get lost. |
