Synopsis
Mr. Loud prepares to take his daughters to "Take Your Daughter to Work Day" at his office, but Lincoln can't go since he is the only son. Feeling sorry for Lincoln, his mother decides to take him to her job at the dentist's office. She encourages him to try to have fun while she helps out Dr. Feinstein and Lincoln manages to come up with several imaginative ideas. However, Mr. Loud's office is right across the street and Lincoln sees his father and sisters having a more fun time than him.

Later, Lincoln notices that an arcade is also across the street and he heads there for 30 minutes when Rita leaves to help the doctor and puts her notebook in his care. When Lincoln makes it back to the office after 30 minutes, he realizes that he left his mother's notebook at the arcade. To make him feel even more guilty, Rita reveals that the notebook actually contains a novel she was working on for the past seven years. Fortunately, she has to work another half-hour, giving Lincoln enough time to get it back.

When Lincoln goes back to the arcade, he finds that the janitor had picked up the notebook and thrown it away. To get the notebook, Lincoln gives chase to the garbage truck, first on roller skates and then pulled by a horse. Soon, the chase continues with Lincoln going through a street cleaner, a hot dog stand and a construction site to get the book. Lincoln finally manages to obtain it, with his feet trapped in wet cement.

Lincoln makes it back to Rita, trekking through with his feet covered in dry cement, but the damage the notebook has taken causes it to crumble to dust the moment he gives it to her. Rita orders Lincoln to explain what happened and he shamefully tells her the whole truth. After hearing the story, Rita admits she's disappointed that he lied to her but he actually might have done her a favor since she thought her novel was boring and that his efforts gave her inspiration for a more exciting tale. But rather than just tell her everything, Lincoln takes her on an adventure recreating his steps.

The Loud sisters return home and feel sorry for Lincoln because they think he had a boring day with their mother until they see him and Rita returning home on roller skates pulled by a horse. They watch them go by while their jaws drop in astonishment due to the amount of fun Lincoln and Rita are having.
