In Dimmsdale, if the weather person gets the weather wrong, they get run out of town by an angry mob. Timmy's Mom becomes the new weather person after Timmy and his dad constantly ignore her. Fearing that she will get the weather wrong and thus ran out of town, Timmy wishes his mom's weather predictions would come true.

Timmy runs away from home so his parents could have the same things in life as the Dinklebergs, and meets the carnies at a carnival. The carnies are fairies (except for the crocodile, who is real) that help kids who run away from home. Timmy realizes his parents actually do miss him and returns home, finding out that the carnies were working with Cosmo and Wanda.
