Tom Gates : Random Acts of Fun #19

Oh no! Tom Gates is stuck at home with a fractured ankle, and it’s totally spoiling his fun. To pass the time, Tom spends his days doodling on his plaster cast, receiving visits (and treats!) from family and friends, and even dealing with Rooster sneaking in. 

As he waits to heal, Tom reminisces about past adventures—like metal detecting with Uncle Kevin or inventing a secret language with Derek—and starts imagining all the random acts of fun he’ll get up to once he's back on his feet.
