The story

Justin Cobb is a shy 17-year-old in a family of four, in suburban Oregon. He has a persistent thumb-sucking habit, that his father disapproves of, which has led to major orthodontic repair. He addresses his parents by their first names, Mike and Audrey, so as not to make his father feel old.
