Cody gets up about three times to answer Jack’s call out to him. He finally grabs a blanket and pillow and lays down on the carpeted floor in Jack’s room and soon falls asleep.
In the morning, the doorbell rings and Cody groggily gets up and answers it. A delivery young man delivers two big boxes. Cody asks him if he could help him carry them upstairs to the owner’s office. He says his back hurts and on the box, the weight is written…50 lbs.
The delivery guy at first says it’s against his company’s policy, but Cody pleads with him.
After looking at his phone, the delivery guy says that he will do it, but needs to hurry up. He takes the two boxes off the handcart and puts it aside.
Cody tells him he’ll have to take his work shoes off first since the carpets were just clean and they have a no shoe policy. The delivery guys hesitates, then begins to untie both of his work boots and pulls them off. He wiggles his socked toes sighing and discovers a hole near his big toe on his right foot. Sorry about showing off my toe the delivery guy says to Cody. Cody shrugs his shoulders and says that he wears old socks too sometimes. They both pick up the ends of one box and carry it in and up the carpeted stairs. In the process, one of the delivery guy’s socks slides off exposing his lightly tan barefoot with trim toes.
Cody picks it up and hands it to the delivery guy saying looks like you lost a sock, then looks down at his barefoot asking if he’s a surfer. The delivery guy smiles and says yes, then asks how did Cody know. Cody replies that his toes and rough skin gave it away.
Cody tells him that he surfs occasionally when he’s off from school. The delivery guy looks down at Cody’s big feet and says to Cody that he has big feet, perfect for surfing.
They both walk downstairs to pick up the second box. The delivery guy tosses his sock by the handcart, then pulls off his other sock. They both pick up the ends and carry it up the stairs while barefoot.
Cody thanks him for helping him, but just then Jack calls out to him. Jack excuses himself and check in on Jack with the delivery guy in tow. Jack is sitting up reading and needs to go to the bathroom. He notices the young delivery guy behind Cody and says hello. He looks down at his bare feet and jokingly says don’t tell me you get to drive barefoot. The delivery guy laughs and says he helped Cody carry some boxes to his parent’s office. In the process, he lost one of his socks because of the carpet. Cody excuses himself and picks up and carries Jack to the bathroom, then escorts the delivery guy downstairs. Cody hands him a Jackson as the delivery guy picks up his socks and puts them in his work boots and takes the handcart walking in bare feet back to the truck. Cody shakes his head.
Later, after breakfast, Cody helps Jack get dressed and checks his ankle. It’s a little swollen, so Cody wraps an ace bandage around it and carries Jack downstairs to the sofa.
Miley is busy watching her TV cartoons sitting on the floor. Cody sits down in a recliner and leans back, lifting his big bare feet up in the process. They have grown a couple more inches measuring about 17 inches now. Miley tells him that he looks he needs one of her foot rubs like she gives her dad. She takes some lotion out of a nearby drawer and puts some in her hands, then rubbing it all over Cody’s bare feet and toes. Cody wanted to object, but it feels too good for her to stop. He splays his toes and leans back with Jack looking on.
