Answer: leaves

Jim showed the pencil to his boss, who tried to pass the idea off as his own. At a town meeting, the factory announced that they would be making this new pencil. When Timothy found out that Jim's boss was the one credited with making it, he confronted him. Soon, the truth came out, including the truth about Timothy's leaves.

Answer: Cindy's boss

On "Bring Your Child To Work Day", Timothy went to work with Cindy at the museum. On that day a portrait of Ms. Crudstaff, Cindy's uptight boss, was put on display. She thought that the painting was off. Timothy said that he might have done better, so she allowed him to draw her. The picture came out great because of his artistic quality. But, because of his quality of being honest to a fault, he drew in her chin hair. When Ms. Crudstaff asked Cindy what else she wasn't telling her, Cindy went off and told her many things. Cindy was fired.

Ms. Crudstaff was played by Dianne Wiest.

Answer: a concert

Brenda, Cindy's sister, held an annual concert at her house where she and her children performed.

Timothy, Jim, and Cindy ended up singing "Low Rider".

Brenda was played by Rosemarie DeWitt.

Answer: He scored the winning goal for the other team.

Jim and Cindy were excited for him to play, since one of the qualities they put in the box was to score the winning goal. When a team member was hurt, Jim and Cindy were able to get the coach to put him in. At first, Timothy just stood on the field, but after soaking in some sun, he was able to play great. In the end however, he scored in the wrong goal and the other team won.

Answer: True

Answer: He gave them to people he loved.

In a note Timothy left, he explained that he gave them away because they were gifts. He gave them to Brenda, Bub, Ms. Crudstaff, his coach, Reggie, Grandpa Jim, Joni, and Jim and Cindy. He put one leaf in Bub's casket. Joni got two, which were made into earrings.

Answer: Yes

At the end, the woman and man from the adoption agency came to the Greens' house. They brought a little girl with them. Her name was Lily.
