Episode 2265

Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	At Hooper's Store, David prepares himself a grilled cheese sandwich. Elmo comes in to order a bowl of cereal and an adventure. David explains that adventures can't be given out like cereal; they're exciting things that just happen to somebody and nothing of interest appears to be happening right now. Elmo gets his order anyhow when David's sandwich starts to burn, setting off the smoke alarm and summoning some firepersons and an alarmed Maria. After all the excitement, Elmo orders yet another bowl of cereal and another adventure.

He gives his answer - "Why is a triangle a triangle? Because it's a triangle. Why is a square a square? Because it's a square. And I'm a Grouch because I'm a Grouch." Telly doesn't accept this and points out the geometric reasoning behind the names. He then proceeds to list other items that are nothing like Grouches, infuriating Oscar and proving why he's so grouchy.

She's prepared various things to send him: a postcard, greeting card, a letter, and a care package, but there's one thing she wishes she could send - herself. She sings "I Wish I Were a Postcard," musing how she'd send herself in the mail to get to Forgetful. After the song, Susan gets a call from Forgetful back at his ranch - he forgot to go on the trip! Clementine gathers her things and eagerly heads home to deliver them in person. Susan then informs Forgetful about today's sponsors, and the credits follow.
