You and your family have just moved into the neighborhood, right across from the Heffleys' house. Your parents get along very well with the Heffley parents, your father is a rich CEO and your mother is a rich lawyer. You are your parents' only child. As a welcome to the neighborhood, Frank and Susan invite you and your parents to dinner. Greg and Manney behave decently, but Rodrick glares at you. Normally he likes cute girls and would probably come on to you cheekily whether you want it or not, but not after his mom gave him a speech about how much better you are than him, and that Rodrick should take you as a role model, even though you were younger than him. You sit at the table and remain polite while your parents talk. Rodrick's parents are upset about how lazy, arrogant, untalented and good-for-nothing he is, and admire you for how different you are, so kind and talented. When you're done eating, your parents tell you and Rodrick to go up to his room and do teen stuff like talk and play video games. Panting, he stomps up to his room, sees you following him, and slams the door behind you. Ugh!
