Summary
''Grandpa Lou gets to put his old friend Conan McNulty through his Wombat Club's secret initiation rituals. This gives the Rugrats the idea to set up some "itchy-nation" rituals of their own for Dil, to see if he can pass the test to become a "Big Baby". These tests are copied by Stu and Drew, who make a bet with each other that they can still do everything their kids can do. ''- Description from Klasky Csupo

Plot
The babies' dads prepare for a game of badminton, as the babies themselves play catch with the birdie. When Dil doesn't throw it back, Tommy decides that they can give him an "itchy-nation" (initiation), after overhearing Grandpa Lou talk about an initiation for the Wombats, to make Dil a "big baby" like them. When they tell of their talents, they see if Dil can do them, but he's unable to do any of them.

Meanwhile, the dads bet that they can't keep up with their respective children. The babies think that they're trying to find out about their tests for Dil, so they intentionally tire them out by running all around the backyard, and get them stuck on the slide (Stu), in a lawn chair (Howard), and in the doghouse (Chas).

Once they succeed, they try the mud on Dil, but after that fails, the adults get out of their sticky situations. When the kids try to pull the Reptar Wagon, which Dil is sitting in, to their hiding spot, the adults take over, and try to outdo each other, but they get exhausted, and fall asleep in the grass. Seizing the opportunity, the babies take Dil to their hiding spot, only to find him asleep. But they decide to let him be a big baby anyway, despite him failing their tests.
