Episode Overview

Caillou is drumming and singing badly. Mom tells Caillou to quiet down so Rosie can take a nap, but he doesn't want to at first. Eventually he stops and heads off to the kitchen to get some cookies. They're hard to reach though, so he tries to use a stool and ends up spilling the cookies as well as a jar of honey. He tries to make honey cookies, but ends up making a mess. Mom comes in and decides that rather than get upset about it, she'll just have Caillou help her clean up. He does and then he and Mom make cookies together. Sometime at the park, apparently later that day, Caillou and Mom share the cookies with Dad and Rosie. Then Caillou runs off and starts covering himself with mud. Dad asks him what he's making and he answers "a big mess."
