While not clearly communicated in the films, the novelizations (specifically Home Alone and A.L. Singer's Home Alone 2: Lost in New York) establish that Rod is Rob and Georgette's son, not Frank and Leslie's as is often assumed.
This is subtly explained by Kate to Harry when the latter asked if there is a reunion, wherein she reveals that "both of his kids still go to school here".

Hilarity Ensues is no longer a trope.


The films' simple premises go like this: a kid protagonist is left alone at his home (hence the title) by mistake and has to defend it against home invaders, usually using a varied set of [[RubeGoldbergDevice improvised traps]] made out of home appliances and other miscellaneous objects. HilarityEnsues as said traps go flying in [[SerialEscalation ever increasingly]] [[HumiliationConga comical]] and [[AmusingInjuries often painful]] ways.
