At Hooper's Store, David must quickly leave to help his mother fix the burst pipes. He asks Susan, Luis, and Big Bird to cover for him, but they are all unable. Reluctantly, he lets Cookie Monster look after the store, making him promise to not eat any of the cookies. Trying to divert his attention from the cookies, Cookie demonstrates how the cash register works. Although he is hungry, he remembers his "Monster's Honor" oath to not eat the cookies, but not anything else. He eats the cash register. Then while playing "Three of These Things", he eats the frying pan, electric mixer, and toaster. He counts the stools, but then he devours them. To avoid the cookies, he eats more items in the store. When David returns, Cookie Monster requests a cookie since he kept his monster's honor.
