The intro opens with D.W. eating her alphabet soup when she hears the ice cream truck, and asks Dad to let her and Arthur get some ice cream, to which he agrees.
The episode opens with Kate and Pal playing, when suddenly, Pal starts barking to Kate's surprise. Later, Kate is learning to speak much to her parents' happiness. Kate and Pal later discuss it, and then, it happened again. Amigo understands it, because it happened to Vicita. That night, Pal dreamed he couldn't understand a teenage Kate. Pal wakes up, remembering someone telling him about a wise llama. The next day, D.W. asks her parents to take her to the zoo.
At the zoo, Kate and Pal go through a log tunnel and up a mountain where they reach the Dolly Llama. Pal tells her the problem, and she answers that Kate is growing up.
Later, she threw her orange juice during breakfast. Then Dad tries to get her to speak. When Pal arrives, Kate reveals her plan to not do anything that makes her grow up. The plan was working well, until Pal barks, to Kate's dismay.
