Synopsis
Ben Norm and his sister, Mary, take care over their appearance. They like to look good, while fitting in with the rest of the kids at school. But their parents are impossible! Dad has a scruffy ponytail and an earring through his nose. Mum is a belly dancer and wears a fishnet body stocking. Why can't they be respectable like other kids' parents? And how can they be stopped from totally mortifying Ben and Mary at Parent's Day? But, when the big day arrives, there are surprises in store for everyone!
