Synopsis[]

The babies are put in the care of their dads while Didi, Betty and Kira all attend a Moon Goddess Festival that Charlotte is speaking at. As the Rugrats try to figure out how to be good helpers for their fathers, they end up making things worse by covering themselves with dirt, flooding the backyard, and eating their food too quickly. Stu builds a "Mega-Kiddie Cottage" for the kids and accidentally locks himself, Howard and Chas inside, will the kids be good helpers and save their dads before their mommys come home? - Description from Klasky Csupo

Plot[]

The grownup women leave the men in charge of the Rugrats while they attend a "Moon Goddess" fair, where Charlotte was invited as a guess speaker. However, the new-age atmosphere and attitude has gotten the best of Didi -- especially when she's told "You're not a wife; you're not a mother; you are a goddess." Before leaving for the fair, she told the Rugrats to help their dads out, so they did everything they were supposed to -- with hilarious results. Meanwhile, Chas devises a special activity schedule, while Stu builds a dollhouse/playpen that is escape-proof -- for grownups.

Trivia[]

  • This is the second time Kimi has gotten her diaper changed. The first time was in "Finsterella".
  • This episode contains one of the only moments in the series where the Rugrats (except for Chuckie, possibly, considering that he's already toilet-trained) are shown soiling their diapers.
  • Howard uses rubber gloves to change the twins. Elaine Kropotkin has also used gloves for this in "Baby Maybe".
  • At one point, for a great amount of time, the DirecTV description for this episode said by mistake "All hell brakes lose" within the description.
    • The Paramount+ description for the episode retains this same line
  • This episode marks the first and only time Charlotte has appeared solo without neither Drew nor Angelica.
  • Drew is the only parent to not appear in this episode.

Goofs[]

  • When Chas reads his book to the babies, Stu's pants are the same color as his blazer for a brief scene.

Quotes[]

Didi: First I get sun-bopped like a rag doll, and fluffed with an old feather duster, then I'm told to forget I'm a wife and mother... Because I'm the Goddess Dodo! Well my name is Didi! Didi Pickles! Not a Goddess... A woman... Who loves nothing more than being a wife and mother and WANTS HER MONEY BACK!
