Chapter One

Welcome to Time-Out

I can guess what you're thinking.

Time-out again? What rule did you break this time, Roscoe?

Well, since you asked, it was Rule Number 542: Do not pretend to need crutches when you really do not need them just to get out of an embarrassing situation.

Personally, I don't think a guy should get punished for breaking a rule when he didn't even exactly know there was such a rule.

But my mom and dad see things a little differently.

Sometimes I wonder if they ever really were kids.

You'd think people who used to be kids would understand that sometimes a guy just really needs a good crutch. Or two.

You know what I'm talking about, right?

Well, maybe it is a little confusing.

I'll begin at the beginning of the beginning.

With my friend Emma's amazing, noisy shoes . . .
