"Step By Step" Suzanne and Jeffrey are Dad's kids. Elizabeth and Freddy are Mom's kids. Just what happens when these youngsters who never even liked each other before are now stepbrothers and stepsisters? Taking it "step-bystep," they learn to play, share and tolerate each other. It isn't easy, but in the end it can be accomplished. "I Met Ronnie Today" In this song, a young boy is introduced to his mother’s boyfriend Ronnie. The boy tries desperately not to like Ronnie, even though he thinks it’s kind of cool that he’s a cop, that he bought him ice cream, and that he let him win at checkers. Nevertheless, when a woman at a newsstand mistakes the boy for Ronnie’s son, the boy runs away and punches Ronnie in the stomach. When Ronnie responds with compassion and understanding, the boy comes to terms with the fact that Ronnie is not such a bad guy. "It's Not My Fault" While kids are constantly told by parents and professionals that they are not the cause of their mom and dad’s divorce, this can be difficult to believe. In this song, a group of kids take the audience on a mental journey through feelings of guilt, helplessness, and finally acceptance and growth.
