Diary of a Wimpy Kid Dog Days - Reading due 10/21

Time read: 60 minutes 10/16

Greg Hreffly is more of an inside kid because he has spent half of his summer playing video games, so to get Greg out of the house his mom took him and his little brother, Manny, to the community pool. Now, the one that they went to STINKS. Greg had to go through a shower where a whole bunch of guys had to wash themselves before they entered the pool. There are no hallways anywhere around it, so Greg and Manny had to run straight through it while Greg covered Manny's eyes and Greg had to keep his open so that he could where he was going because he did not want to bump into anyone. Manny was really curious after they got out of that because he has only been in the girls bathroom with his mom because he is 2. So, Manny was really curious. At one point, Greg had to stop Manny from washing his hands because the urinal looked like the sink to him. Greg walked out almost dead because of what he saw in that bathroom!

The next day after that, since he got his video games taken away from him because he played them so much, he asked his mom if his friend, Riley, could spend the night. His mom and Riley's mom said yes. Riley came over. Greg did not have anything to do so he asked Riley if he wanted to sneak through his brother's room again and see what he could find. They ended up finding a little key chain that said summer memories on it. They looked right into it and they saw his brother, Rodrick, with some girl in the picture. That was a huge find, but they weren't satisfied so they kept looking through his brother's drawers and they also found a horror movie that said "Hello, You're Dead" on the cover. Riley and him had to sleep in the basement and when they were just about to fall asleep they heard something that sounded like a ghost coming from the closet in the basement. They went up and told their Dad and when he looked it was one of Manny's toy dolls called Hide and Seek Harry.

This book is funny. I like the bathroom part! It was probably the funniest part of the book so far.

Every year the school has a costume party, though there is a funny part about it. Everyone there is supposed to 1/3 of a grocery bag of candy. The teachers get garbage bags full of candy for rewards for students or for class parties, though when the 8th graders saw that they only showed up with just a gorilla mask on or a batman cape. So every year they only showed up with a mask on or a cape and demanded for those garbage bags of candy. So, the year after that started, the principal made a rule where you have to wear a full costume to go to the party. This year, Eddie wanted to go, but he did not have a costume. The only thing he had to wear was a superman costume for 3 year olds. He couldn't wear that now because everyone saw him wearing his superman underwear. When the dance was over, the next day he went to school, he looked up on the flagpole just like he does every morning when he walks in and he saw his superman underwear on top of the flagpole and everyone in the whole school were starting at him.

Eddie has now joined the football team, but he is still wearing the superman underwear! He just couldn't let go of them. At football practice, he got tackled so hard that three teeth got knocked out.

I feel that Eddie should burn those underpants. He is in middle school and he is still wearing superman underpants! He needs to grow up.

Who Ran My Underwear Up the Flagpole 10/4/2009 -- (Reading blog due 10/6)

Every kid in the class knows that the meanest teacher in the school is Mr. Hollis. The school is still barely 3 weeks old, but still it doesn't take long to know that guy is mean! If you just got up to throw away a piece of paper, you would have to sign this certain contract that said you didn't throw away your schoolwork. I think that teacher is so mean. Also, if you just talked just to ask a question (and say it out loud) -- detention!

The main idea of what I read was, Mr. Hollis was so late that it was 15 minutes before gym class started, so every single kid went out to get ready for gym class then right when one kid was just about to get finished, Mr. Hollis busted in and forced them all to go into the class. The kid who still wore superman underpants forgot to put his pants back on and ran into the classroom with underwear on. When school was about to end, he asked his friend to help him save up money to finally buy some new underwear that did not have superman on them (or batman or any other super hero from comic books).
