When your grandpa is dead, he shouldn't show up for eggs in the morning but that's what Pappy Jack does. Can Little Jack keep him?
Meet the family Trihn. There's Connie, the mom who rules the kitchen with an iron spoon and thought her family should only eat healthy. Then there's Harold. Harold is, well, the only thing to be said about him is he is the dad of the house and a belt wearer that sneaks a twinkie now and then. Next in line is Little Jack. At eight years old he's always on the hunt for forbidden junk food. Life in the Trihn house, as you can see, is normal old boring.
Until Harold's long lost father Pappy Jack comes back. To Pappy, every day is an adventure and you got to have your suspenders ready. Harold wants him gone but Little Jack wants to keep him. Can Pappy Jack keep his adventures in control so he could stay?
Come and find out but remember: grab hold of your suspenders or you just might lose your pants.
