| - When Michelle goes to get new shoes during a trip to the mall with her sisters, she is pleased when the salesman tells her that she has healthy feet. However, she grows worried, to the point of having an extreme nightmare, after being teased by D.J., Stephanie, and Kimmy Gibbler when they tell her that her feet will grow at an alarming rate. In her nightmare, she dreams that she has to go to clown school and that her feet won't stop growing, which alarms her. Joey insists the family tickle Michelle's feet to keep them from growing larger. When the nightmare ends, she finds that her feet are giant again and starts screaming. Stephanie wakes her up and Michelle insists that her feet are still giant, but in reality they aren't; as Stephanie explains she was just eating cookies in bed.

However, she grows worried, to the point of having an extreme nightmare, after being teased by D.J., Stephanie, and Kimmy Gibbler when they tell her that her feet will grow at an alarming rate. In her nightmare, she dreams that she has to go to clown school and that her feet won't stop growing, which alarms her. Joey insists the family tickle Michelle's feet to keep them from growing larger. When the nightmare ends, she finds that her feet are giant again and starts screaming. Stephanie wakes her up and Michelle insists that her feet are still giant, but in reality they aren't; as Stephanie explains she was just eating cookies in bed. Later, Danny explains to D.J. and Stephanie that teasing is not only hurtful, but it can blow things out of proportion for a little kid. He explains how he was called "freckle-shins", because of when he grew, his pants didn't; so there was a huge gap between the socks and the bottom of the pants. Even Joey explains how he was called "toe-head" (as he says his head was shaped like a toe; Danny then says it's an expression for kids with blond hair, something the girls are also able to relate to). Also, when everyone finds out that Michelle has been using shrink-wrap and a bucket of ice water in an effort to shrink her feet (per her friend Lisa's advice), D.J. and Stephanie are the first to discover this, and are completely shocked. D.J. asks Michelle if she is making a "bunion Slurpee" and asks her to get out, but Michelle insists she is not done soaking her feet, to which D.J. decides she is done. Against Michelle's wishes and out of concern for their younger sister's safety and health, she and Stephanie immediately get Michelle out of her frigid foot bath ("shrink-wrapped"), keep a tight grip on her to stop her from getting back in, and insist that if she continues, instead of shrinking her feet, she will freeze her feet off, or even make bunions grow and cause permanent damage (with no mention of frostbite). When Joey and Danny enter the room, Joey puts some of the ice in a glass of sarsaparilla and takes a sip, and when Stephanie mentions to Danny what Michelle was doing, this causes him to spit out his drink. Then everyone explains to her that growing is a natural thing, especially when it comes to wearing shoes. Meanwhile, Jesse is shocked when Becky takes it upon herself to sing Nicky and Alex asleep. It was a ritual formed by Danny, Joey, and Jesse for Michelle, and now they are doing it for the twins. However, Becky cannot sing, so Jesse takes it upon himself to coach her when Danny and Joey express annoyance at her impeding on their fun. Becky is shocked when Jesse comes out with the truth, and Jesse learns something when he notices the twins asking her to sing to them.
