Good morning, parents.

Shut your mouth.

And I can dig it.
Sit down, daddy, before

Mmm, good.

Here, take this.
I don't want you
to get an infection.
I hope this isn't any
of that vet medicine
you give your animal patients.
Oh, what do you care
as long as it works?
Look at it this way
At least you'll no longer
have a problem with fleas.
I don't have fleas.
Oh, Oscar, stop being silly.
It's people medicine.
But what about my fleas?
Mama, daddy, I'm sorry.
I wanted to do something
nice for you this morning,
just to show you that you're the
best parents on the entire planet.
Okay, I've heard this
before. Is 20 enough?
Absolutely.
But that's not what I wanted.
Then give me my money back.
You're so funny, daddy.
What is it you want, Penny?
Can I have a sleepover
tomorrow night? Just two girls.
There'll be no loud music, no
dancing, no boys, no fun at all.
I know, because
there'll be no sleepover.
Mama!
No, Penny.
Your dad and I are going
to my veterinarian awards
banquet tomorrow night.
I'm nominated for three lassies.
Baby, I'm afraid I'm not
going to be able to make it.
Why not?
Did you forget already?
Our baby girl Penny is having
a sleepover tomorrow night.
Yeah, and you'll be
sleeping over that couch
if you try to worm
your way out of this.
Just tell me this
Are you guys using
bears again for waiters?
I'm still shaking from
that incident last year.
Ahem, hey, smokey.
Don't be serving me that
salmon unless it's fresh.
I mean, pull-it-out-of-the-
stream-with-your-paw fresh.
Now, see, that's
what I call fresh.
I haven't been right
since that day, baby.
When I took Bebe and
Cece to the little mermaid
I had to watch it
through my fingers.
Nice try.
You're going, Oscar.
Okay, try this
What if Suga Mama chaperoned?
Okay, you can
have your sleepover
if you can get suga
Mama to agree.
Don't worry, I'll get her.
Suga Mama and I
speak the same language.
17, 18, 19, 20.
Ha-ha, you know, Penny
I always said you and I
spoke the same language.
Puff, put this with my stash.
Hmm, I need to wash this wig.
Hi, Penny.
Hey, you made it.
Hey, pinhead.
- Who invited her?
- Lacienega?
Come on, Penny, she's cool.
Oh, look, if it isn't
the Proud twins
Happy and nappy.
That's Bebe and Cece.
Isn't that what I said?
Okay, kids, we're going.
Mr. and Mrs. Proud
May I say, on
behalf of all of us
you don't look nearly
as old as you really are.
Well, thank you, Lacienega.
I think.
Penny, you know the rules
No loud music.
No boys.
No running up my phone bill.
No boys.
And the most
important rule of all
No boys.
Penny, wait a minute.
Don't worry, mom, we'll be okay.
Why don't y'all go on? I
got everything under control.
And the no boys rule
goes double for you, Mama.
Call you back, Cletus.
My son is trippin'.
Good-bye, baby. Have fun, now.
Bye!
How can we party with
honey dew sleeping in here?
It's Suga Mama.
Isn't that what I said?
Check this out.
Suga Mama!
Is your grandmother okay?
I mean, she ain't movin'.
Yeah, watch this.
Turn that back on.
I was watching that.
Yes, Suga Mama.
Now all I have to do
is put the twins to bed
and the party is on.
Come on, you two, time for bed.
Good-night, you
guys, sweet dreams.
Puff, take care of the babies.
Yes, I know you'll
protect the babies.
That's why I'm leaving
you here with them.
Okay, everybody's asleep.
You know what that means.
It's time to par-tay!
Seeing that some of
us are cheerleaders
maybe I can convince a couple
of football players to come by.
Wait a minute, you heard
my parents no boys.
Duh, they're
supposed to say that.
And as teenagers, we're
not supposed to listen to them.
Besides, I know for a fact that
that cutie Omar really likes you.
- The quarterback?
- Yes.
All he does is talk about you.
- Isn't that right, Lacienega?
- I don't think so.
Oh, yeah, he talks
about you all the time.
So, are you down, Penny?
Okay, I'm down, but
only for a little while.
Call them.
Already did.
Come on in, guys, before you
get a penalty flag for delay of party.
Hey, Omar.
- What's up um, um
- Penny.
Yeah, right.
What did I tell you?
All he talks about is you.
Okay, why are there
birds on the table?
And in the chandeliers?
Oscar, can you be
here for me, please?
Trust me, Trudy I wouldn't
be here if it wasn't for you.
Okay, okay, I'm here.
Oscar Proud, Proud snacks.
One swallow will make
your taste buds holler.
Someone help me!
Come on, baby, let's move along.
Can't we go anywhere without
you trying to sell snacks?
- What pays the bills?
- Not the snacks.
Which is why I should
be passing them out.
Mmm, something
smell good up in here.
Looks like squab.
Squab? What's squab?
Pigeon.
What's wrong? We're
eating your cousin?
You know what would
go good with this?
Some cold duck.
Oscar, I wouldn't
tease the birds.
I don't think they like it.
What do I look
like, a puddy cat?
I'm not scared of some birds.
Here's one for the homies.
Mmm Ouch!
Oh, y'all want to play rough!
Oscar, please,
don't provoke them!
No, I got something for them.
Hot sauce!
Oscar, will you please sit down?
Did you see that?
Chicken!
Trudy! Help me!
Oh, hold on, now.
Put that fire out, dragon
breath. That'll leave a Mark!
Go, go, go!
You and me, pal!
You and me!
Oscar!
Ow! Ouch! Ow!
Trudy, run for your life!
Mama!
And my first husband is
- Sticky.
- Hey!
You cheated!
Baby, I would never cheat
on you. Now, come here.
I'm going to show you
what kissing is all about.
He's just playing.
He knows he likes me.
Sticky, come here!
It's your turn, Penny.
Omar, Omar, Omar,
Omar, Omar, Omar
It's Omar.
Myron?
Well, look at the time.
My parents should
be home any minute.
Party's over everybody out.
Oh, stop being a baby.
Get in there and kiss your man.
Ah!
And remember
You're to stay in
there seven minutes.
Okay, these are the rules:
No kissing, no
hugging, no talking.
And no heavy breathing.
- Are you okay?
- I'm claustrophobic.
I need my inhaler.
Okay, where is it?
Home.
Let me out of here!
Sorry, we can't hear you.
- Oh, my gosh!
- Where's Penny?
Let me out of here!
Mom, dad.
I see you won the award.
Yay, mom!
I cannot believe you, Penny.
You ask us if you
can have a sleepover.
We trust you, and you
do something like this.
But I can explain.
You can? Go ahead.
I want to hear this.
And don't ask.
Well, it was like this and like
that And like this and, uh
Then it was like that
and like this and like that
What's my punishment?
You are grounded for a month.
A month? But I
- Where are the twins?
- Upstairs.
Mom, a whole month?
I was thinking a whole life.
Hey, I was watching that.
You mean to tell
me y'all ain't left yet?
I told y'all I got it covered.
You kids just don't listen.
If I've told you once
Puff!
Mom, there's a dog on the wing.
Sure there is, honey.
Penny, I'm very
disappointed in you.
It's bad enough you had
all those kids over here
but to be in a
closet with a boy.
Mom, I know how it looked
but nothing happened.
If I thought something happened
you'd be in boarding
school right now, young lady.
The point is, you shouldn't
have been in the closet at all.
That's how good girls
get bad reputations.
Those were the '90s, mom.
People aren't like that anymore.
I was watching that.
Mama, I need to tell
you something about puff.
There he is.
Last Tuesday, the student body
voted to serve veggie burgers.
When notified of the vote
a cafeteria spokesperson
informed this reporter
that there was no
need for the beef
because there was never
any beef in the burgers.
So far, there's been no
response from the students.
And now it's time to hear
from our very own "you-didn't-hear-it-
from-me-but" Girl
the loquacious Dijonay.
Zoey girl, don't
hate, appreciate.
You didn't hear it from me,
but this past Saturday night
Penny "forehead" Proud
was locked in a room
with Myron Lewinski
at a rowdy sleepover.
A source close
To the action tells me that
Penny did indeed kiss the boy.
I always knew my girl was wild but
who knew Myron was a player player.
Dijonay!
Well, that's all, y'all.
And remember, you didn't
hear it from me. See ya.
For he's a jolly good player ♪

- Hey, girl.
- Shh, here she comes.
- Shh.
- Here she comes.
What's going on?
Don't try to play me.
How could you do this to me?
Start a rumor like that?
I didn't start it. I
just reported it.
I thought you'd be happy.
Everybody knows your name now.
I'd be happier if you would
have checked your facts.
I'm a gossip reporter.
If I checked the facts,
it ain't gossip anymore.
- Who started this rumor?
- You did.
You were the one in the closet.
You know what, Dijonay?
Myron, Myron,
Myron Never mind.
Myron, Myron, Myron, Myron
- Say my name, say my name.
- Myron.
Hey, what up, baby girl?
I need to talk to you.
Beat it, chicken legs.
Myron, you need to put a
stop to the rumors about us.
Hey, I didn't start 'em.
I'm just milking 'em.
- You're going to stop them.
- And what if I don't?
I'll hurt you.
All right, all right.
I'll do whatever you want.
Geez, you don't have
to get so physical.
Penny and Myron are kissing.
You didn't hear it from
me but this morning
Someone spread a nasty rumor
about Penny Proud
kissing Myron Lewinski.
This afternoon, Myron
is my in-studio guest.
He's here to set
the record straight.
Welcome to the show, Myron.
Thanks for having me on,
Dijonay With your fine self.
Ooh, Myron. You so smooth.
If you and Penny
weren't together, I'd
Dijonay!
So, Myron, what
exactly did happen
between you and Penny
last Saturday night?
Well, you know, as usual
the ladies were all over me.
I was just chillin', so
Nothing happened.
Penny is a classy lady and
I I have nothing but love
I mean, respect for her.
Yes.
I heard he went on TV to
keep her away from him.
And that she's been stalking
him everywhere he goes.
Because she can't
get enough of Myron.
That's because she loves him.
Why else would she make
me put him on my TV show?
I was wondering when
you would fall apart.
I had no idea when I started that
rumor that it would work this well.
What? Why did you do that?
Two reasons.
You didn't invite me to your party
and everyone knows, it's not a party
unless Lacienega
Boulevardez is there.
And two, it was fun.
That's it. This time
you went too far.
Want some? Get some.
Girl fight!
Arch rivals Penny Proud
and Lacienega Boulevardez
go at it for the Myron belt.
Man, this is going
to be a close fight
but my money's on Lacienega.
Looks like she wants Myron
more than I want this tasty burger.
I don't want
Myron. That's a lie.
That's not true. Don't say that.
Stop!
Can't you see what
we're doing to each other?
How rumors divide
classmates, friends, families
Even enemies.
Don't you know that by
merely listening to a rumor
we're giving it life, allowing
it to breathe, to grow
to engulf us all To
devour our integrity.
Stop spreading
those rumors around ♪
stop spreading the lies ♪
look at all these rumors
surrounding me every day ♪
we just need some time,
some time to get away ♪
from all these rumors,
I can't take it no more ♪
my best friend said
there's one out now ♪
about me and

Come on, everybody. Let's
stop spreading them rumors.
She said her family broke up
when they caught her kissing Myron.
Now they're going to send
her to live in another country.
Yeah, girl I'm going
to visit her, too.
Yo, Penny
I was feeling what you had
to say. You know, it was real.
But, yo, I got to be
honest I like rumors.
Changed my life.
I went from geek to chic.
Gas.
Mom, you were right.
Lacienega started a nasty
rumor about me and Myron.
I tried to stop it,
but I had to let it go.
I know that nothing happened.
You should have
kicked that girl's behind.
No, you did the right thing.
There's nothing you can do about
rumors but live your life correctly.
You still should have
kicked that girl's behind.
Which reminds me I
got wrestling tickets.
Where's puff?
Puff!
Houston, we have a problem.
