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 . . .
