It is bedtime but Corey can't sleep, so dad decides to tell her a bedtime story. It is the story about a little boy from New Mexico. He is a boy who seems afraid of everything new. When his mom tries to potty train him, he objects. Mom tries to teach him to swim, but he resists. He doesn't want the new bike mom bought -his old tricycle will do fine. He doesn't want to go to school or play basketball, But, as he grows up, he realizes that can't is a four letter word. When Dad finishes his autobiography, Corey is fast asleep - mission accomplished.
