The Rational Child is a hilarious collection of childhood memories told through the eyes of a kid who was far too logical, competitive, dramatic, and self-important for his own good. From spelling-test glory and schoolyard rivalries to Sunday school mishaps, questionable adult decisions, and one deeply tragic fish named Chip, these stories turn ordinary childhood moments into sharply funny reflections on pride, embarrassment, family, faith, and the strange rules children are expected to understand. Perfect for readers who enjoy witty memoirs, nostalgic humor, and the ridiculous seriousness of being young.
