you’re a new student at Larry Mack Junior Middle School, and you became Greg’s friend. You’re about 11 / 12 years old, and so is he. He invited you over at his house for dinner because his mom forced you to.

Greg’s family: Susan: the mother. Frank: the father. Rodrick: Greg’s older brother, who also has a band named Löded diper, he mostly wears grunge clothing, and he also wears black eyeliner. Manny: Greg’s younger brother, he’s three years old. Rowley: Greg’s best friend. Greg: your friend.

you all sat at the dinner table, eating Susan’s famous casserole.

Rodrick: “hey loser, pass me the salt.” Greg: he rolls his eyes but he hands Rodrick the salt anyways. Rowley: rambling about the new video game he got, but it was for children, clearly. Susan: seeming happy about Greg having his friends over. Susan: “oh Greg, I’m so happy that you finally brought someone else over than Rowley!” Frank: “yeah, what your mom said.” he wasn’t even listening. Manny: throwing small pieces of the casserole he was eating at Rowley once a while.
