Special: The Rugrats find presents for their mother, but ended up trying to find Chuckie a mother, as he didn't have one. The answers for this mystery are in a special box, which Chazz doesn't want Chuckie to see. Meanwhile, Stu works on his present for Didi -- a robot that uses "Clapper" technology and used to automatically cook AND serve a person's meal, as well as clean the house (like his other inventions, it went haywire), Betty uses a computer to collect her thoughts on being a mother of twins (using these thoughts to reprogram Stu's robot, it overloaded the computer), Didi takes Minka to the International House of Mud for a mud bath (Minka doesn't like bathing with strangers, and you can get all the mud you want at home for free), and Angelica builds a statue of herself using macaroni, gum, and glue (Chuckie broke it).moreless

- Goof: When Chuckie was standing on the wastebasket "hugging" the dresser's dummy, the smiley face was frowning (if the wastebasket was turned right-side up). Later, when he was running from Lil, he tripped and got his head into the wastebasket, but it had a smiley face with a smile on it, instead.

- A Poem to Chuckie (From His Mother) My Sweet Little Chuckie ~ Though I must leave you behind me, This poem will tell you where you always can find me. When a gentle wind blows, that's my hand on your face. And when the tree gives you shade, that's my sheltering embrace. When the sun gives you freckles, that's me tickling my boy. When the rain wets your hair, those are my tears of joy. When the long grass enfolds you, that's me holding you tight. When the Whippoorwill sings, that's me whispering, "Night,night".

I don't think I even knowed she was my mom then. But when she held my hand, I didn't feel scared anymore. As long as I was there she never let go.

NOTES (1)
ADD NOTES
- There are 2 versions of this episode in the US - one version ends with a picture of a flower and a caption reading "Happy Mother's Day"; another version has the butterfly flying slow, then slowly flying backwards before fading to black. This later version is used by Nick during out-of-season showings of this episode, especially when Rugrats In Paris was released.
  EDIT SHARE
ALLUSIONS (2)
ADD ALLUSIONS
- The episode starts off immediately with a scene of oddly-shaped macaroni floating in space (the raw materials used to make Angelica's statue), set to the tune of Johann Strauss' Blue Danube Waltz (1866). This is, more or less, taken from Stanley Kubrick's landmark 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey. A similar scene also started off the second part of this episode, after the commercial break.
  EDIT SHARE
- The glue used for Angelica's statue was "Wilbur's Moo Glue", with a picture of a horse on the bottle. First of all, long ago, dead horses were used to make glue, Second of all, the glue was named after Wilbur Post, the owner of the famous talking TV horse, Mr. Ed. Wilbur was played by Alan Young; Mr. Ed was voiced by Allen "Rocky" Lane.
