	Intro
	Scene	Rumpel has received the papers for his registration for the Grouch of the year competition and he quickly begins to fill it out. But then he notices that he has to make a video about a typical day. Rumpel is upset, as he doesn't know how to make such a video tape. He then remembers that Moni has a video camera and hurries over to her.
	Scene	Rumpel tells Moni that she has to make him a video for his application to become Grouch of the year. She would like to help but doesn't have anyone to take care of Lena, so she will have to bring her along. Rumpel reluctantly accepts and is sure that they can get it done very fast. But Moni tells him that it will take her awhile to get everything ready.
	Scene	Moni has found her camera and set it up, and Rumpel begins his presentation. Shortly after he starts, Lena pops up next to Rumpel and soils her diaper. Rumpel thinks there is a very nice odor around her. Moni comes in and apologizes to Rumpel and tells him that they can just start over.
	Scene	Moni places Lena next to her and restarts the camera; meanwhile, Lena slips away again. Rumpel begins his presentation again and Lena pops up once more and starts to use the various pots and pans as a drumset. Moni hurries in to stop her daughter and carries her away once more. Rumpel thinks it was great, but Moni restarts the camera. Rumpel once again starts his presentation and this time Lena pulls down a rope that holds Rumpel's extra pots and pans. Rumpel thinks it's great; Lena is good at being a Grouch and he is sure that he will win with Lena by his side. Lena begins to talk really fast, and Rumpel is unsure what she is saying. Moni thinks that she is saying that she wants to play with the mud that Rumpel has, and she suggests that Rumpel play with Lena. Rumpel likes the idea and the two of them start to throw mud at each other. Moni is excited and kind of proud of her little Grouch.
