Juicy moments from my impossible life


Darcy Walker is a normal 16-year-old boy but he can handle that.
He can even cope with parents, deal with parties, and soldier through the occasional fight.
He’s certainly got his infatuation with the beautiful Audrey under control, is clearly the best at spending quality chess-time with his nerdy best friend, Noah, and doesn’t blink an eye at the misadventures that can occur when kayaking on a school excursion.
He’s a teenage boy – he can handle anything. That is, if only he’d learn to keep his mouth closed first.
