Synopsis

Six sisters, two brothers, a Monty Python-loving mom, and a military father all add up to one very full and funny house in Rob Clark's Robservations. Growing up in a chaotic Catholic household in the '60s and '70s was rarely easy-forced haircuts, cranky nuns, fetching tampons, and the worst pizza ever made are the least of the author's troubles as he navigates family, faith, and finances in Barrie, Ontario.

Follow Rob as he attempts to answer life's biggest questions: How do you get out of twelve o'clock Mass? What's wrong with Steve McQueen? How do you pee in the snow with boxing gloves on? What exactly are all these tampons for, anyway?

Full of heart, humour, and more than a few hijinks, this delightful collection of personal essays is perfect for reminiscing about a simpler time and enjoying lots of laughs along the way.
