It looks as though her older friend Mrs. Davis will lose her kittens unless a way can be found to get the rules changed.About Clocks, Candy, Bullies and MeIt's an ordinary day. The alarm clock crashes into Billy's sleep, his mother nags him, and once again he has to face Larry, the neighbourhood tough guy.

That evening the family must decide: should his father come back home to stay?
