Tom forgets his baby photograph, his shoes make rude noises, and Amber sneezes over him as he hurries to class.
Tom’s research reveals that his grandparents have different names from his nicknames, his father has a secret about Uncle Kevin and a footballer, and his parents’ relationship began through cake.
