The story revolves around a boy named ChaCha who lives in Scottsdale, Arizona. ChaCha has a problem with watching too much television, which has become an addiction and is causing concern for his mother. She tries to limit his TV time and encourages him to get some exercise. However, ChaCha resists and continues to watch TV.
One day, ChaCha's father finds him playing video games under a tree. ChaCha's mother, worried about his addiction, decides to observe the new family next door. She notices ChaCha watching the kids play and decides to encourage him to join in. ChaCha, initially hesitant, eventually joins the kids and starts learning to play. He enjoys the games and the company of the kids, and his addiction to TV and video games disappears.
ChaCha's mother also worries about ChaCha wandering around on his own, which she believes is a habit that could lead to him getting lost. ChaCha's teacher assigns homework for the children to learn their parents' phone numbers, so they can call them if they get lost. ChaCha, however, does not learn his parents' phone number.
One day, while playing in the park with ChuChu, a friend, ChaCha gets lost while chasing a balloon. ChaCha realizes he is lost and is afraid. He sits under a tree and starts to cry. ChuChu is unable to find ChaCha and calls her mother, who rushes to the park. ChaCha's mother and ChuChu's mother find ChaCha quickly. ChaCha is very happy to see ChuChu and his mother.
ChaCha promises to never go away on his own again and learns his mother's phone number so he can call her if he gets lost again. The story ends with ChaCha and ChuChu learning their parents' phone numbers.
