Hot dog on a Stick
Part 1
Monday
Ok, I'm getting worried! Something is up with Mom and Dad, first they say that I can stay up till eleven to watch my favourite T.V show and then they tell Roderick that he can do his band practise in the basement at 8.00am in the morning, ON A SUNDAY! Then my mum got us a take away for tea and Dad didn't budge when Roderick nearly set the house on fire, (Warning: don't try and toast a sandwich with peanut butter and jelly inside). But I would say that Manny is getting treated any better but to be honest he actually can't because they treat him better than anyone. Like this morning when he blocked up the sink with this new 'water turns to jelly' thing and they just spent the next 2 hours cleaning it out.
Now they are cleaning out my room and asked Roderick if he will play some of his music to get them in the 'Groove'!So I have come to the conclusion that my parents have turned into robots or they have been abducted and the aliens have given replacements and they didn't exactly hit the right buttons. I suppose I will have to wait and see but whatever it is I am SURE that it can't be good news. I am even starting to think that dad may still be considering that army camp for next summer, so I'm trying to stay on the good side of them!
Thursday
I have it! I know what it is, but don't expect it to be the aliens idea because it's not that, well it's actually nothing at all to do with aliens. See I went round to Rowley to see if he had any ideas but we had to go back to mine because I am banned from their house due to what happened last week. Apparently Rowley's dad ended up with a pink car after I got Rowley's bubble machine and, by accident, spilt it on Rowley's dad's car. But I am sure he didn't really mind!
Anyway Rowley said that if something was up then maybe I should just ask and then they can't exactly say nothing because even Roderick is starting to notice something isn't right. I know you would think that he would have realised by now but let's just say that he isn't the brightest of people, (a kinder way of saying thick). So they are really off colour because they are both about to turn 45 this year and apparently from this website 45 is the big age that all parents try to avoid. Oh yes, I forgot to say that last weekend I found this awesome new website called Boys2Kool4Skool and it I so cool and tells you everything that you need to know about middle School, it actually feels like everything that happens in my life there is a solution to on that website. These are some of the things that the website said:
How to avoid the weird next door neighbour
How to avoid turning a white shirt pink
What dance moves the ladies like
How to sneak chocolate to your room
And loads more stuff. I mean I can't believe I never found it before! This is the list I got of hat will start to happen when your parents turn 45:
Don't talk as much
Do not bother with children's problems
Make the house clean all the time
Complain about how life goes so fast
Say how kids made you look older
And basically turn a lot lazier and worse
So apparently from them I have a lot more fun and laughter to look forward to, so don't think I will be here for long. After hearing that I am thinking of going to college early but Rowley said that the only way to do that is to be super clever. So I wonder if 'eating all your lunch' award would go towards anything.
Sunday
I am officially stumped. That college idea just isn't working for me! I asked Rowley, Fregley (because i was desperate) and even a TEACHER but Rowley said 'It will never work' and then carried on eating his cheesy fries, Fregley said 'Do YOU want to see my rotten tooth collection 'and that was that and the teacher said 'don't dream so big Greg, you'll never make it'! So I suppose that leaving home is out of the question unless I can think of another way to get out except from going to the mental ward after seeing Fregley's rotten tooth collection. And that doesn't sound like the best way to end up.
And home is getting any better! Mom says that we are older now and that we can make our own lunch and sometimes supper, and that we can take Manny to day-care because she is getting ties up in all kind of stuff and hasn't now got the time to do all these jobs. I have two points; number 1 what 'STUFF' is she soooo tied up in and number 2 we are as busy as she is. Because yesterday i got given an assignment on How to take care of a plant and this is how it is going so far:
Greg Hefley's- How to take care of a plant
Step 1) Buy a plant from a plant store.
Step 2) Get a hose and water it.
Step 3) Watch it grow into a flower.
So you could say that getting an A isn't exactly on the up side for me at the minute. And now Dad is telling me that it is time to go to bed and it is only 7.00pm ONLY 7.00pm! It's like they are teenagers again and are having mood swings! So I guess that is it for the day, wish I could say that I can't wait for tomorrow.
