"Grandma's Kisses" is a SpongeBob SquarePants episode from season 2. In this episode, SpongeBob decides to act more grown-up around his grandmother.

Characters[]

Synopsis[]

SpongeBob visits his grandmother's house, where he indulges in several "childish" activities such as eating cookies, licking the spoon, and listening to stories. As soon as the clock strikes 3:00 PM, SpongeBob's grandma drives him to work. Once there, she kisses him goodbye, leaving a "kissy" mark on his forehead. Everyone at the Krusty Krab teases SpongeBob about this and he runs home crying.

Back at home, Patrick tells SpongeBob that he should show his grandma that he is not a baby anymore, and that he should try to act more like an adult. The next day, they go to Grandma's house wearing sideburns. When Grandma answers the door and tries to kiss SpongeBob, he explains to her that he is an adult now, and the kissing has to stop.

Grandma's Kisses 033

Squidward and the customers make fun of SpongeBob.

Grandma offers them cookies, which Patrick gladly gobbles down. When SpongeBob tries to talk him out of it, Patrick proclaims that being a grownup is boring, and that he enjoys acting like a baby. SpongeBob tries to eat a cookie, but Grandma gives him a piece of steamed coral instead. Grandma then reads Patrick a children's storybook about a magical sea leprechaun, and gives SpongeBob a large book on routine active maintenance. She also gives Patrick a sweater "with love in every stitch," while SpongeBob receives unwrapped office supplies. Soon, the clock strikes 3:00 PM, and Grandma reminds SpongeBob that he has to go to work.

As Grandma tucks Patrick in for a nap, SpongeBob says that his busy adult schedule will make it hard for him to visit. Grandma seems unconcerned with this, so SpongeBob leaves. But, not before that growing up can be tough on SpongeBob, his manly sideburns falling away and stressed out for a childhood stuff. SpongeBob declares that he refuses to grow up and that he wants to be treated as a baby again and live like one. He then cries painfully, mocking with lawn sprinkler in the yard and hyperventilated over into a baby so intensely that he floods the house as a hurricane.

Grandma calms him down and pulls a plug in the floor to drain out his tears. She tells SpongeBob that he does not have to be a baby to get her love; he can kiss his grandma and found his soft spot, and still be an adult, because no matter how grown up he gets, she will always love him. Grandma gives him back his sideburns, hands him a cookie, and SpongeBob starts to feel a lot better. He asks her to not bring this whole debacle up to everyone at the Krusty Krab, not knowing, however, that Squidward and all the Krusty Krab customers are watching from the window.

    • Also, when SpongeBob bursts through the door, not only does Patrick disappear, but the sofa he was laying down on is smaller.
  • When SpongeBob says, "I wanna wear didies," there are no frames where he runs in the screen so it is as if he teleported onscreen.
