Carolina, while modelling a pink dress with Francois, tells the audience that the vocabulary is about personal appearance, behaviour, and growing up. Then, T.D., in the Lorraines' backyard, tells Martha and Skits to dig. Helen and Carolina walk up and Carolina asks what the dogs are doing. Martha reveals that she and Skits are trying to dig to the centre of Earth to see what's inside. The girls tell the dogs to stop digging and that the Earth is full of magma. Carolina says that if they don't believe her, they should ask Truman, making the kids realise they haven't hung out with him that day and have only caught glimpses of him.
They go to his house to ask him why he's been behaving oddly, and find his mother, who tells them that Truman is in the garage. They go to the garage, but he tells them to come back in three months. Martha says that that's too long, but Truman says that if he explained, the truth would be too horrible. After failing to get the truth out of him, his friends turn to leave, when Truman's mother appears and is about to turn on the light but he stops her.
When she leaves, his friends decide to keep trying to get Truman's secret out of them, and he still doesn't spill, but reveals that he's too embarrassed to let his friends see his face. After Carolina threatens to walk up to him, he finally decides to reveal the secret.
It began the previous day, when his father told him it was "time to go". However, he backs out and doesn't want to continue. Carolina guesses that his father tried to drive him to a pizzeria but a bat flew into the car and turned Truman into a vampire. Truman says that that isn't it, so T.D. guesses that Truman's father drove him through a green gas cloud, which led to Truman shrinking. Carolina points out that this is clearly not true, so T.D. thinks that maybe only Truman's head shrank.
This didn't happen either, so Truman decides to reveal what happened: he was taken to get his hair cut. This confuses his friends, since having your hair cut is obviously not a big deal. Truman then says that it was a very embarrassing haircut and the next day is school picture day. His friends talk him into showing the haircut, which he does, and it turns out it ''is'' bad -- it's shaven on one side and the rest of his hair is unkempt.
He considers running away to Antarctica, but Carolina tells him that not everyone looks perfect, she has one elbow that's pointier than the other, and besides he'll get a new school photo next year. Then, we see a future in which Truman is fully grown with two kids, owns a flying vehicle, and his haircut is now fashionable.

* AwfulTruth: Initially, Truman thinks that his secret is too horrible to explain to his friends.

* BlindedByTheLight: At the beginning, Carolina is annoyed by T.D. and Truman's camera flashes.
* CallingYourNausea: T.D. says, "I think I'm gonna be sick now!" when told bats eat bugs (since he thought he would like to be a vampire if he could turn into a bat). However, he doesn't actually throw up.
* DontBeRidiculous: Martha tells Skits that there isn't a giant egg yolk at the centre of the Earth, since that would be silly... it's probably cheese.
* DramaticThunder: Parodied. In Truman's flashback, thunder and lightning happens when his father says it's "time to go", even though, as Helen points out, it hadn't rained for a week.

* IResembleThatRemark: Truman accuses Carolina of yelling, causing her to yell, "I don't yell!".
* InstantlyProvenWrong: In Carolina's imaginary sequence, Truman's father says, "No harm done, right, Truman?", only for Truman to turn out to be a vampire.

* MonochromePast: Truman's flashbacks to his embarrassing experience (and his friends' guesses about what it is) are in black and white.
* OnlyOneFindsItFun: T.D. is the only one who likes Truman's haircut, because [[NightmareFetishist it reminds him of monsters]].
* RightForTheWrongReasons: Carolina is correct that Truman isn't looking to stop being friends with Helen, Carolina, and T.D. However, because she's arrogant, she thinks it's because everyone would want to be her friend.

* RunningGag: [[RecurringExtra The tan-skinned baby boy in the red shirt and blue overalls]] keeps crawling off, prompting Truman's mother to scoop him up.
