Mark Parsons spent his childhood doing stupid things day in, day out in rural Manitoba. He has collected them here in this memoir for your entertainment now that he has survived it all long enough to find it funny. What began as an exercise of bringing joy to his mother, sharing family stories with her from when they were all young and carefree, has turned into a book of nostalgia, humour, and 20/20 hindsight with the hopes that it will bring joy to many more. Mark Parsons now lives in Manitoba, albeit in the city of Winnipeg, along with his wife, Jacqui.
