After the party ends the next day, Rodrick forces Greg into helping him clean up by threatening to reveal his secret. However, Rodrick jumps off the couch, calls every friend of his, and throws a party, locking Greg in the basement for the whole night. One time when Rodrick is ill, the parents leave Greg and Rodrick in charge of the house, thinking that Rodrick will not throw a party in his ill state. Rodrick has an upcoming science project that he would prefer to do on ' Gravity', but he clearly shows no effort or interest, and asks his family members to do it for him. Rodrick immediately spends all of his money on some heavy metal magazines, while Greg carefully and sensibly manages his cash. Luckily for him, he gets away with passing it on to a new student named Jeremy Pindle.īecause Rodrick and Greg constantly nag Susan about having no money, she starts a "Mom Bucks" program to get Greg and Rodrick to get along with each other. After Rodrick puts him in the back of his van and finds every speed bump in town because their mother Susan wants Rodrick to pick him up after swim practice and school, he drops Greg off at school but Greg finds out he still has the Cheese Touch from last year. At the start of the book, Greg Heffley explains how bad his summer vacation was in which after being signed up with the swim team without his consent, he had to deal with practicing at 7:00 AM, being the worst swimmer on the team, being forced to wear his brother Rodrick’s skimpy hand-me-down racing speedo to save money while everyone else wears baggy swim trunks and his older brother Rodrick annoying him about a secret that Greg is trying to keep.
