SCENE 1 | At the day care center, Oscar conducts what he calls a "Grouch experiment" with Gina, Baby Bear, Brian, Erica, and Megan. Using a big bowl of water, they conduct a sink-and-float experiment using prunes, popcorn, and whipped cream. Afterward, Gina thinks it's a shame to waste so much food, but Oscar is delighted by the resulting mess - to a Grouch like him, it makes for some great soup! |

SCENE 2 | Big Bird stops by Finders Keepers to hang out with Ruthie when they're interrupted by Baby Bear and the kids, who show her the artwork they made today at day care. Big Bird, seeking attention, claims he also made some artwork, pointing to the copy of the Mona Lisa hanging on the wall. The kids are impressed, though a tad skeptical. Once they leave, Big Bird admits he made it all up, feeling left out of Ruthie's praise. She tells him she's proud of him anyway and is even more proud because he was able to open up his feelings to her. Big Bird decides to tell the others the truth and make his own drawing, which makes Ruthie even more proud. |
