All Rob wants to do is to be normal. But that's not the easiest thing to pull off when you live in a family of weirdos: his five-year-old sister is a child genius, his mother adores Winnie the Pooh - and proves it by driving around in a van with pictures of Pooh and his friends painted on it; and his father, an ex-surfer, can't even speak without saying things like "stoked," and "awesome" - especially in front of Rob's friends.
