<br />
'''Gregory "Greg" Heffley''' is an American middle school student and also the main protagonist of the book series Diary of a Wimpy Kid. He is believed to be loosely based on Jeff Kinney when he was in middle school. Greg is very concerned about his popularity level and how he looks in public. He absolutely loves video games, comics, and slacking off, taking after his older brother, [[Rodrick Heffley]]. He takes up a lot of traits from Rodrick (such as selfishness, laziness, etc.). He also has an interest in cartooning and making comics. He was played by [[Zachary Gordon]] in the live-action movies ''[[Diary of a Wimpy Kid (film)|Diary of a Wimpy Kid]]'', ''[[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules (film)|Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules]]'', and ''[[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days (film)|Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days]].'' Greg is portrayed by [[Jason Drucker]] in the 2017 live-action film, ''[[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul (film)|Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul]]''.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Greg is lazy, petty, narcissistic, sociopathic, egotistical, eccentric, egocentric, usually backstabbing, and sometimes even selfish and dishonest, and apparently lacks talent. He hardly has any skills aside from video games and possibly singing. However, despite all this, Greg still has had his kind and caring moments, just not that often. He hates taking the blame for anything, and would much rather not take all the credit. Greg explains and narrates throughout the series that he has no strong talents, other than video games and comics. As such, he spends most of his time on them, which deters him away from schoolwork and chores. For a time, he harbored a hope of drawing for the school newspaper, but his comic was bowdlerized by the editor (Mr. Ira) and Rowley’s comic, which was also Greg's idea, was better liked by the people at his school. He hardly shows any other talents. However, Greg is probably good at singing, due to the fact that when he was auditioning for the school play, the drama teacher told him he had a nice soprano (high male) voice and is also good at sewing, but he complains that these talents do not make him stand out. <br />
<br />
Greg almost always tries to find a scapegoat to put the blame on for his behavior, but he is oblivious to the fact that nobody forced or influenced him, other than probably his older brother, [[Rodrick Heffley|Rodrick]], to act in this manner. Very few times has Greg actually admitted to being "wrong" in a decision he made and took responsibility for it. It should also be noted that while Greg is arguably a watered down version of Rodrick, he does not have any productive interests and could actually be considered more hurtful than Rodrick psychologically.<br />
<br />
Although he's considered a "wimp", he has a problematic behavior in many cases, and he often puts himself and his family into trouble. Typically he is looking to find a scapegoat to blame, and only in very rare occasions does he admits being "wrong", but he also seems to care for others and, as such, is willing to give himself to people he loves, especially Rodrick. The parents of his best friend, Rowley, believe Greg is a bad influence on their son (mainly Rowley's dad) because he sometimes gets bad grades in school, does not focus on his studies like he's supposed to, and barely listens to his parents.<br />
<br />
Greg wants to be famous when he grows up and imagines it many times. He is very petty in order to win.<br />
[[File:The not.png|thumb|Greg's fabrication of [[Marty Porter]]]]<br />
Greg always has an exaggerated thought, being confident of being rich and famous. He also kind of bullies and use Rowley much more than needed, as he often thinks of hurting him and makes him do a lot of his work, like giving him piggy-rides, looking out for dog-poop, and completing Greg's English work since Greg is not good at writing in cursive, though Greg believes that he is doing it for a good cause. Although Greg is shown not to be hostile towards Rowley, in Rowley's diary, [[Diary of an Awesome, Friendly Kid (The Wimpy Kid Do-It-Yourself Book)|Diary of an Awesome, Friendly Kid]], Greg can be seen shouting at Rowley for trying out his retainer.<br />
<br />
He also had a huge crush on Holly Hills, when she turned up at the seventh graders' roller rink ([[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules (film)|''Rodrick Rules'' film]]). Holly Hills was a new seventh grader at [[Westmore Middle School]] whom he fell deeply in love with. In the film adaptations of ''Rodrick Rules'' and [[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days (film)|''Dog Days'']], he put in so much effort to win Holly all to himself, which was what Rodrick was reading out loud from Greg's diary in the film ''Rodrick Rules''. After Holly's sister [[Heather Hills]]' Sweet Sixteen party in the film ''Dog Days'', Holly took Greg's hand, indicating she liked him back and she thinks he is really amusing. However, in the books, Greg lost interest in Holly after she mistook him for [[Fregley]].<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
Greg is usually depicted with black shorts, or black pants (sometimes black jeans, or, when he is fantasizing, a black tuxedo) and a white shirt. He is very skinny and does not seem to eat nor work out much. His father has tried to get him to work out and exercise, but he prefers playing video games. His nose is a simple oval but stops where the first eye is while his ears are circled. His head is a circle that stops around his left eye. He also appears to wear contact lenses, which he mentioned in [[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw|The Last Straw]]. He wears his backup glasses when he runs out of them. Greg also has a retainer as mentioned in [[Diary of an Awesome, Friendly Kid]] and a headgear as shown in [[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Ugly Truth|The Ugly Truth]]. He also wears white shoes or black sandals (as shown in "[[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days|Dog Days]]")<br />
<br />
In the movie, he has brown hair and pale white skin. Like in the book, he's visually skinny and slightly shorter than Rowley.<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* Greg likes soap operas, as shown in [[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days|Dog Days]].<br />
*Greg is younger than [[Rowley Jefferson|Rowley]], as his birthday takes place during the summer, while Rowley's takes place during the first semester of the school year.<br />
**Greg's was born on February 19 in the online version. He has the same birthday as Jeff Kinney, the author of the [[Diary of a Wimpy Kid (series)|Diary of a Wimpy Kid series]].<br />
**Greg was born in June ([[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days|Dog Days]]) and Rowley was born in October ([[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules|Rodrick Rules]]).<br />
**If calculated well enough, Greg is revealed to be born on June 18.<br />
**With the proper calculations, the year Greg was born is presumed to be 1998.<br />
* Greg's birthday is in June in the book and movie series while it is in February according to the online version.<br />
* He lacks research on his projects and he fudged both his Moose and Chimpanzee essays and his international showcase of Malta due to him forgetting about it.<br />
* As what has been stated by Greg's creator, Jeff Kinney, Greg is drawn almost completely bald. Additionally, he slightly resembles Charlie Brown in Peanuts since both of them have a few sprigs of hair.<br />
*Greg was born premature, as stated in ''[[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Third Wheel|The Third Wheel]]''.<br />
* It is possible that Greg has hyperthymesia- a condition that lets the individual recall almost everything in their life. However, in previous books, he is shown to have a bad memory. It is most likely that he is inventing memories and has simply been told by his parents about life before birth. He talks about his time in pre-school, but this is not unusual as most people's first memories occur age one-two.<br />
*Greg has been in [[Greg Heffley/Detentions|detention]] 16 times:<br />
** 1st Detention: For sleeping in class in ''[[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw|The Last Straw]]''.<br />
** 2nd Detention: For being disrespectful to a teacher in the [[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Class Clown|''Class Clown'']] short.<br />
** 3rd Detention: For selling a fake elevator pass to a 6th grader. Greg himself bought the pass on his first day in middle school. This occurred in ''[[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Third Wheel|The Third Wheel]]''.<br />
** 4th-13th Detentions: In ''[[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Meltdown|The Meltdown]]'', a substitute teacher taught at the school. Greg and his friends decided to prank him by switching their names. The [[Fake Greg Heffley|boy]] who said his name was Greg Heffley started misbehaving. The substitute teacher told the principal that "Greg Heffley" had been misbehaving. This caused the real Greg to receive 10 detentions.<br />
** 14th-16th Detentions: For getting caught copying off Rowley's paper on a test, causing him three detentions, and to retake the test. This happens in [[Diary of an Awesome Friendly Kid: Rowley Jefferson's Journal|Diary of an Awesome Friendly Kid]].<br />
**Due to having over three detentions, Greg can no longer run for student council.<br />
*Greg was only five pounds seven ounces at birth with an average being 7.5 pounds, though newborns may vary from 5.5-10 pounds, this may be as he was born 3 weeks premature, even though most children born up to one month premature are of normal weight.<br />
*He is the only member of his family who did not serve as the main antagonist in any book. The other members of his family serve as the main antagonist in at least one book ([[Rodrick Heffley|Rodrick]] in [[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules|''Rodrick Rules'']], [[Frank Heffley|Frank]] in ''[[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw|The Last Straw]]'', [[Susan Heffley|Susan]] in ''[[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days|Dog Days]]'', and [[Manny Heffley|Manny]] in ''[[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Cabin Fever|Cabin Fever]]'').<br />
**Coincidentally, these books were after each other in order.<br />
*Greg tends to be very optimistic and full of himself, believing that he will be rich and famous and that by the age of twelve-thirteen, he would have his own reality TV show.<br />
*It is revealed in The Last Straw that Greg swears a lot, often swearing at school and even swearing in front of his toddler brother, [[Manny Heffley|Manny]] and also using "made-up" swears like "Raspberry Plastic Tickle Bear!", etc.<br />
**Greg is shown to swear and yell a lot in [[The Wimpy Kid Do-It-Yourself Book]]'s version of [[Diary of an Awesome, Friendly Kid (The Wimpy Kid Do-It-Yourself Book)|Diary of an Awesome, Friendly Kid]].<br />
*In the [[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules (film)|second film]] when Greg finds out Manny put a cookie in his gaming console, you can see that it is an Xbox 360 Slim. In [[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days (film)|Dog Days]], there are multiple times when you can see Greg playing a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_Portable PlayStation Portable] and an unidentified home-console.<br />
**Greg is shown to be playing with a controller almost similar to the Nintendo 64 controller.<br />
*Greg is rarely seen smiling.<br />
**Also, none of the Wimpy Kid books' covers feature Greg smiling. However, The original Do-It-Yourself Book's cover has Greg smiling.<br />
*Greg is seen to have a high voice in the first, second and fourth films but in [[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days (film)|Dog Days]] his voice is deeper. This is most likely due to his original actor, Zachary Gordon, going through puberty. <br />
*Greg is the least popular kid in school in the first film after he got beaten up by Patty in Wrestling Class, and in "[[The Wizard of Oz]]" play.<br />
*Greg believes that he is the best person he knows. He also seems to be quite self-absorbed due to his thoughts about some people and how oblivious he is of his behavior sometimes.<br />
*Greg still uses baby wipes, even if he is on the verge of teenage years, as shown in the book, [[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Old School|Old School]].<br />
*Greg has contact-lenses, as mentioned in [[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw|The Last Straw]].<br />
**His sight must be very bad, as he wears thick glasses in The Last Straw when he lost his contact lenses.<br />
*He is Grandpa's favorite out of Frank's three sons, as revealed in [[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules]].<br />
*Greg is based on Jeff Kinney's worst qualities as a kid.<br />

*In the Rodrick Rules film, it is showed that Greg has a YouTube Channel named "amazingGregheffley".<br />
**In the book "The Ugly Truth", Greg has a social media account.<br />
*In the first film, it's revealed Greg is in the 6th Grade and in the "Rodrick Rules" film it is stated by Greg that he is in the 7th Grade. Then, in the "Dog Days" film it is mentioned by his Dad that Greg is going to the 8th Grade.<br />
**In the Online version is it revealed Greg is in the 7th Grade.<br />
**In the books, Greg was in 6th grade in book 1, 7th in book 2-3, 8th in books 5-8, and 9th in books 10 and up.<br />
*Since he went through the metal detector rather than the X-ray machine scanner in The Getaway, he is assumed to be 12. The X-ray machine is used for 13-year-olds and over, although he said that it's only for grown-ups. Although the entire family might have gone through the metal detector due to having [[Manny Heffley|Manny]] with them.<br />

*In the books "Dog Days" and The Ugly Truth, Greg's address is revealed as 12 Surrey Street.<br />
*Greg claims to have lactose intolerance in the first book and in the third film Dog Days as a scapegoat. Also in cabin fever when Rodrick drinks the milk, Greg says, but maybe not exactly "Since Rodrick drank from that jug, I will not '''DRINK that milk.'''". This may mean that in cabin fever, he didn't have lactose intolerance. Although this could have been due to the fact it would get him away from eating the cheese in the first book.<br />
*In the French translations, Greg's name is changed to "Grég", but the pronunciation is not changed.<br />

* It is unknown what his middle name is<br />

**With the proper calculations, the year Greg was born is presumed to be 1998.<br />
* Greg's birthday is in June in the book and movie series while it is in February according to the online version.<br />
* He lacks research on his projects and he fudged both his Moose and Chimpanzee essays and his international showcase of Malta due to him forgetting about it.<br />
* As what has been stated by Greg's creator, Jeff Kinney, Greg is drawn almost completely bald. Additionally, he slightly resembles Charlie Brown in Peanuts since both of them have a few sprigs of hair.<br />
*Greg was born premature, as stated in ''[[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Third Wheel|The Third Wheel]]''.<br />
* It is possible that Greg has hyperthymesia- a condition that lets the individual recall almost everything in their life. However, in previous books, he is shown to have a bad memory. It is most likely that he is inventing memories and has simply been told by his parents about life before birth. He talks about his time in pre-school, but this is not unusual as most people's first memories occur age one-two.<br />
*Greg has been in [[Greg Heffley/Detentions|detention]] 16 times:<br />
** 1st Detention: For sleeping in class in ''[[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw|The Last Straw]]''.<br />
** 2nd Detention: For being disrespectful to a teacher in the [[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Class Clown|''Class Clown'']] short.<br />
** 3rd Detention: For selling a fake elevator pass to a 6th grader. Greg himself bought the pass on his first day in middle school. This occurred in ''[[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Third Wheel|The Third Wheel]]''.<br />
** 4th-13th Detentions: In ''[[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Meltdown|The Meltdown]]'', a substitute teacher taught at the school. Greg and his friends decided to prank him by switching their names. The [[Fake Greg Heffley|boy]] who said his name was Greg Heffley started misbehaving. The substitute teacher told the principal that "Greg Heffley" had been misbehaving. This caused the real Greg to receive 10 detentions.<br />
** 14th-16th Detentions: For getting caught copying off Rowley's paper on a test, causing him three detentions, and to retake the test. This happens in [[Diary of an Awesome Friendly Kid: Rowley Jefferson's Journal|Diary of an Awesome Friendly Kid]].<br />
**Due to having over three detentions, Greg can no longer run for student council.<br />
*Greg was only five pounds seven ounces at birth with an average being 7.5 pounds, though newborns may vary from 5.5-10 pounds, this may be as he was born 3 weeks premature, even though most children born up to one month premature are of normal weight.<br />
*He is the only member of his family who did not serve as the main antagonist in any book. The other members of his family serve as the main antagonist in at least one book ([[Rodrick Heffley|Rodrick]] in [[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules|''Rodrick Rules'']], [[Frank Heffley|Frank]] in ''[[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw|The Last Straw]]'', [[Susan Heffley|Susan]] in ''[[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days|Dog Days]]'', and [[Manny Heffley|Manny]] in ''[[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Cabin Fever|Cabin Fever]]'').<br />
**Coincidentally, these books were after each other in order.<br />
*Greg tends to be very optimistic and full of himself, believing that he will be rich and famous and that by the age of twelve-thirteen, he would have his own reality TV show.<br />
*It is revealed in The Last Straw that Greg swears a lot, often swearing at school and even swearing in front of his toddler brother, [[Manny Heffley|Manny]] and also using "made-up" swears like "Raspberry Plastic Tickle Bear!", etc.<br />
**Greg is shown to swear and yell a lot in [[The Wimpy Kid Do-It-Yourself Book]]'s version of [[Diary of an Awesome, Friendly Kid (The Wimpy Kid Do-It-Yourself Book)|Diary of an Awesome, Friendly Kid]].<br />
*In the [[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules (film)|second film]] when Greg finds out Manny put a cookie in his gaming console, you can see that it is an Xbox 360 Slim. In [[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days (film)|Dog Days]], there are multiple times when you can see Greg playing a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_Portable PlayStation Portable] and an unidentified home-console.<br />
**Greg is shown to be playing with a controller almost similar to the Nintendo 64 controller.<br />
*Greg is rarely seen smiling.<br />
**Also, none of the Wimpy Kid books' covers feature Greg smiling. However, The original Do-It-Yourself Book's cover has Greg smiling.<br />
*Greg is seen to have a high voice in the first, second and fourth films but in [[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days (film)|Dog Days]] his voice is deeper. This is most likely due to his original actor, Zachary Gordon, going through puberty. <br />
*Greg is the least popular kid in school in the first film after he got beaten up by Patty in Wrestling Class, and in "[[The Wizard of Oz]]" play.<br />
*Greg believes that he is the best person he knows. He also seems to be quite self-absorbed due to his thoughts about some people and how oblivious he is of his behavior sometimes.<br />
*Greg still uses baby wipes, even if he is on the verge of teenage years, as shown in the book, [[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Old School|Old School]].<br />
*Greg has contact-lenses, as mentioned in [[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw|The Last Straw]].<br />
**His sight must be very bad, as he wears thick glasses in The Last Straw when he lost his contact lenses.<br />
*He is Grandpa's favorite out of Frank's three sons, as revealed in [[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules]].<br />
*Greg is based on Jeff Kinney's worst qualities as a kid.<br />
*Greg appeared in an [[Igdoof]] comic, but he was referred to as Buster.<br />
*Greg is right-handed, as revealed in the eleventh book.<br />
*Greg owns a [[Ladybug]] in the Dog Days book and in the Dog Days film and later mentioned in the book. Hard Luck later temporarily owning her mother's Cell Phone. In the Long Haul film, it shows Greg owning an iPhone. In the book The Getaway, Greg is shown to own an iPod. It is unexplained how he received it.<br />
*In the Rodrick Rules film, it is showed that Greg has a YouTube Channel named "amazingGregheffley".<br />
**In the book "The Ugly Truth", Greg has a social media account.<br />
*In the first film, it's revealed Greg is in the 6th Grade and in the "Rodrick Rules" film it is stated by Greg that he is in the 7th Grade. Then, in the "Dog Days" film it is mentioned by his Dad that Greg is going to the 8th Grade.<br />
**In the Online version is it revealed Greg is in the 7th Grade.<br />
**In the books, Greg was in 6th grade in book 1, 7th in book 2-3, 8th in books 5-8, and 9th in books 10 and up.<br />
*Since he went through the metal detector rather than the X-ray machine scanner in The Getaway, he is assumed to be 12. The X-ray machine is used for 13-year-olds and over, although he said that it's only for grown-ups. Although the entire family might have gone through the metal detector due to having [[Manny Heffley|Manny]] with them.<br />
*Greg's age is revealed as 13 in the online version.<br />
*In [[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul (film)]] Greg's age is reset to 12.<br />

*Greg's favorite animal is a dog.<br />
*In [[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Getaway]] Greg is shown to have arachnophobia, a fear of spiders.<br />
**Greg once fainted after seeing crickets in a box. Usually, it is a childish habit of fainting at the sight of insects and arachnids, considering Greg is nearly a teenager.<br />
*In the first book, Greg is one who created the Zoo-Wee-Mama as a punchline in a comic, while in the first film it was created by Rowley.<br />
*In the book "Dog Days", Greg's phone number is revealed as 555-2941.<br />
*Greg claims to have the ability to beat all of his classmates in video games.<br />
*Greg made an appearance in a [[Happy Meal Commercial]] created McDonald's alongside with The Pig, Rodrick, Gammie, and Sweetie.<br />
*In the books "Dog Days" and The Ugly Truth, Greg's address is revealed as 12 Surrey Street.<br />
*Greg claims to have lactose intolerance in the first book and in the third film Dog Days as a scapegoat. Also in cabin fever when Rodrick drinks the milk, Greg says, but maybe not exactly "Since Rodrick drank from that jug, I will not '''DRINK that milk.'''". This may mean that in cabin fever, he didn't have lactose intolerance. Although this could have been due to the fact it would get him away from eating the cheese in the first book.<br />

*In the online version. Greg states that he writes in his diary so he can get out of doing chores.<br />

* It is unknown what his middle name is<br />

==Synopsis==<br />
===January===<br />
[[Greg Heffley|Greg]] talks about his baby days and explains (probably from his imagination) that before being born, he was in a dark place swimming and napping anytime he wanted, until being woken up by classical music that his mother [[Susan Heffley|Susan]] would send through "parental speakers". Susan would also tell Greg about her life through the speakers too and [[Frank Heffley|Frank]] would also tell him about his day at work. Greg then got tired of it and got out three weeks early. Then he explains how everything he got was a hand down from his elder brother [[Rodrick Heffley|Rodrick]]. Susan used to not let Greg crawl a lot and that resulted in Greg being way behind his playmates in the physical stuff. Greg finally learned to walk, but was in preschool by the time and was still quite behind his classmates. His classmates could do things like use zippers and buttons and many other things Greg was unable to, so he tried to slow them down by giving them wrong information. However the teacher thought he wasn't learning well and called Susan and told her. Susan made him skip a grade to kindergarten, but he was scared there so he went back again.<br />
<br />
Greg then explains whatever Susan did for Greg would not work for [[Manny Heffley|Manny]] as she uses a different technique. [[Manny Heffley|Manny]]'s social skills are a bit bad, he also watches [[The Snurples]], a show in which the characters have their own gibberish language and he also made imaginary friends to escape danger, have fun and get extra dessert. Greg's mother starts a Family Night thing where they go out or play games rather than watch TV, Greg then talks about the family restaurant, [[Corny's Family-Style Restaurant|Corny's]]. Greg is doing house chores until he heard a knock and finds his [[Uncle Gary]] at the door. Uncle Gary had bought some Boston counter shirts after loaning some of Frank's money, but the shirts have a typo and he needed a place to stay in. Living with Gary is bad for the Heffleys, his nightmares make [[Manny Heffley|Manny]] shift his bed away from the wall and whenever Rodrick is kicked out of bed in morning, he has to sleep on the up part of the couch.<br />
<br />
Greg explains how [[Gary Heffley|Gary]] has been trying to get a job, but whenever he gets one, he quits after a few days. One of Greg's teachers, [[Mrs. Moretta]] announces in Phys Ed that the ballroom dancing unit is starting and people should find a partner by writing there names in slips and submitting them. Greg explains he will be fine with pairing with anyone except for [[Ruby Bird]], a girl in Greg's school who has a bad habit of biting people and was suspended for biting [[Mr. Underwood]] in the elbow. At the partner announcement day, in Greg's favor [[Ruby Bird|Ruby]] is paired with [[Fregley]], but Greg and four other kids were partnerless. The teacher paired them up with each other.<br />
<br />
An assembly by [[Vice Principal Roy]] and [[Mrs. Birch]] announces new members for the [[Student Council]]. Greg cannot sign up due to him having three detentions, but sees Rowley could be perfect. [[Rowley Jefferson|Rowley]] signs up to be Social Chairperson. The winner of the President voting is [[Eugene Ellis]] who promised to replace the school's toilet paper with quilted toilet paper the teachers use. At Greg's house in his room, Uncle Gary played a future game when you are an adult, but Uncle Gary buys scratch tickets.<br />
<br />
===February===<br />
[[Javan Hill]] found that Pillow Soft Ultra toilet paper was being used by the teachers, not the kids. So Eugene went to the lounge and showed Mrs. Birch. The school introduces a program where students can bring in their own toilet paper. However, the plan backfired when some of the boys started a toilet paper fight in the cafeteria. The school then set a rule that kids are only allowed to have five squares of toilet paper, much to Greg's dismay because he brought in twenty rolls. Now that the staff is checking peoples' bags and lockers to see if they had more than five, Greg decided to have his own bathroom stall to keep all of the toilet paper, but that backfired when people founded out that Greg was hoarding toilet paper. After this whole toilet paper experience, students learned that they are going to raise money of their own if they want something. <br />
<br />
The [[Student Council]] brainstormed ideas for a fundraiser, but most of the boys in the council decided on a mixed motocross/wrestling event. The fundraising community was formed, and, in the end the [[Valentine's Day Dance]] becomes a school fundraiser. Greg tries to find a date, but it starts to fail. A pantsing fever starts in the school which is quickly stopped by [[Vice Principal Roy|Roy]], but a kid under the bleachers quickly pantses him and escapes. Now he (or she) is dubbed as the [[Mad Pantser]]. Greg found a leather jacket of his Dad's, but in school it is confiscated by his mother who said it was not a winter coat. [[Abigail Brown]]'s boyfriend breaks up with her, and after that Greg and Rowley decide to go with her for the school dance. Greg heads to Rowley's house but he sees two bumps on his chin that looked like mosquito bites, but he realizes it's chicken pox. He tries to cover it up, since the chicken pox has been contagious in school. <br />
<br />
Greg goes with [[Rowley Jefferson|Rowley]] and [[Abigail]] to [[Spriggo's]]. The host at Spriggo's tells him that gentleman have to wear sports jackets. Greg has to wear a smelly sports suit which makes them go to Corny's due to the dessert bar, however Rowley and Abigail order special desserts which makes Greg fib that it's Rowley's birthday to make him get a free cake. At the dance the theme is [[Midnight In Paris]] but old people take one half of the hall for their meeting. Later [[Uncle Gary]] tries to sell the [[Boston Souvenir T-Shirts|Botson T-shirts]], but people want their money back after seeing the typo. Greg sees pimples on Abigail which he thinks is chicken pox. Later they head home, Greg realizes the "chicken pox" on Abigail was acutally a pimple. He doesn't think Abigail saw it that way, because she wasn't chatty with him on the way home.<br />
<br />
At the end, [[Gary Heffley|Uncle Gary]] moves out after he wins $40,000 on a scratch card which he wasted a lot of the Heffleys money on to buy scratch cards. Greg ends up getting the chicken pox, but he gets to take a bath in peace, but the experience isn't like how he lived before he was born and when he opens his eyes, the towel next to the bathroom was gone. Greg says either someone's messing with him, or either [[Johnny Cheddar]] is at it again.<br />
<br />
==Extract quotes from the book==<br />
*''I looked for a way to escape, but I was trapped. Luckily, Abigail walked out of the bathroom at that exact moment and I grabbed her hand just before Ruby got to me. Abigail's makeup was a mess from all of the crying, but I didn't really care. I was just happy to have an excuse to get away from Ruby. And to be honest with you, I think Abigail was happy to see me, too, so I led her to an empty spot on the dance floor.''<br />
<br />
*''I'd never slow-danced with a girl before, So I didn't know where I was supposed to put my hands. She put hers on my shoulder, and I put mine in my pockets, but that kind of felt dumb. So we met in the middle, and that seemed about right.''<br />
<br />
*''And speaking of Rowley and Abigail, I heard that the two of them are a couple now. All I can say is if that's true, it makes Rowley 'the worst wing man in history.'''<br />
*''I'm supposed to stay home from school for at least a week. The good news is that with everyone out of the house, I can take a long bath without anyone bothering me.''<br />
*''Or at least I THINK I'm alone. Today I had a fresh towel next to the tub, and when I open my eyes it was gone. So either somebody's messing with me or Johnny Cheddar is at it again.''<br />
*''Everything probably would've been just fine, but at lunch someone threw a roll of toilet paper at somebody else, and within about fifteen seconds it was a total madhouse.''<br />
*''I couldn't find any cologne in Rodrick's junk drawer, but I DID find a bottle of that body spray they're always advertising on TV. I was a little nervous about using it, though, because if that stuff really works like they say in the ads then tomorrow night could be a nightmare.''<br />
*''I just watched everything play out from my spot against the back wall,wondering why I'd wanted to go to the dance in the first place. I was also to regret not wearing the body spray from Rodrick's junk drawer, because Great Uncle Bruce's cologne was attracting people outside my age group.''<br />
*''Even my PACIFIER was a hand-me-down from Rodrick. I don't think he was ready to give it up, though, which explains why he never really liked me.''<br />
*''Every once in a while, a few latecomers would walk in and turn right back around when they saw what was happening. But, at around 9:00, Michael Sampson came in hold hands with Cherie Ballanger.''<br />
*''Also the service is TERRIBLE at Corny's, so we always just get the buffet and serve ourselves.''<br />

*Gary Heffley wins $40,000 from his scratch card and moves out of the house.<br />
*Greg gets chicken pox in the end.<br />
*Rowley and Abigail possibly became a couple. It is confirmed in [[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Hard Luck]] that they are actually a couple until the end of the book.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*This is the 7th book in the series.<br />
*[[Holly Hills]] was rumored to be [[Greg Heffley|Greg]]’s partner for the dance by many fans, but she wasn't even mentioned and only appeared in [[Greg Heffley|Greg]]’s relationship chart as liking [[Bryce Anderson]]. This could mean that [[Greg Heffley|Greg]] has given up on [[Holly]]. At the end of [[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw|The Last Straw]] it was hinted after [[Greg Heffley|Greg]] wrote the fake letter from [[Holly Hills]] that he gave up on her due to being too hard to reach.<br />
**However, in the [[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days (film)]], Holly might have became a couple with [[Greg Heffley|Greg]]; in the book they didn't become couples which might explain why [[Holly]] picked [[Bryce Anderson]].<br />
***In [[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul|The Long Haul]], he imagines marrying her and having kids .<br />
*The Mad Panster’s identity is unknown.<br />
**He could be [[Anthony Renfrew]] since Anthony was the starter of Pantsing Fever, but it could also be somebody else.<br />
*There is an exclusive version of this book, which has [[Fregley's Language|Fregley]]’s secret note in the back. It's a poem by [[Fregley]] that shows why girls (specifically [[Ruby Bird]]) must go with him to the dance.<br />
*[[Rowley Jefferson|Rowley]] closes his mouth for the second time in the books on Page 166 while eating chocolate.<br />
*It was revealed that [[Rodrick Heffley|Rodrick]] might hate [[Greg Heffley|Greg]] because [[Susan Heffley|Susan]] gave [[Rodrick Heffley|Rodrick]]’s pacifier to [[Greg Heffley|Greg]] and [[Rodrick Heffley|Rodrick]] never wanted to give his pacifier up, but this might not be true because [[Rodrick Heffley|Rodrick]] doesn't act childish and [[Greg Heffley|Greg]] is not always true.<br />
*It is unknown what happened to [[Greg Heffley|Greg]]’s towel at the end of the story.<br />
*[[Rodrick Heffley|Rodrick]] has a much shorter role in this book, in most of the parts when the family gathers together [[Rodrick Heffley|Rodrick]] is not there.<br />
**Also, [[Rodrick Heffley|Rodrick]] doesn't bother [[Greg Heffley|Greg]], making it the first book to not have [[Rodrick Heffley|Rodrick]] bully [[Greg Heffley|Greg]].<br />
***[[Rodrick Heffley|Rodrick]] also does not have any dialogue in this book.<br />
*This is the first time a character's lies about it being another character's birthday at a restaurant.<br />
*[[Greg Heffley|Greg]] has his covers yanked off the bed by his father to wake him up for school. This is the second time this has happened in the series, the first being [[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw|The Last Straw]].<br />
*[[Greg Heffley|Greg]] apparently weighed only five pounds and seven ounces at birth - the average is seven pounds and eight ounces, meaning he was two pounds lighter than average, this hints why he was so thin and another hint is that he was born three weeks premature, as well as [[Greg Heffley|Greg]] mentioning that he never met [[Rodrick Heffley|Rodrick]] until a few days after he was born.<br />
*The book's title was originally '''Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Odd Man Out''', but Kinney changed it to The Third Wheel for a reason. The twitter post is [https://twitter.com/wimpykid/status/241750368608980992 here].<br />
*[[Rowley Jefferson|Rowley]] and [[Abigail Brown]] remain a couple in [[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Hard Luck|Hard Luck]], marking the first time either [[Greg Heffley|Greg]] or [[Rowley Jefferson|Rowley]] has had a relationship and even more remarkably over more than one book.<br />
*In this book even in the flash-backs [[Greg Heffley|Greg]] doesn't have buck teeth, this is the first book to feature a very young or baby [[Greg Heffley|Greg]] without buck teeth.<br />
*This book covers the months of January and February.<br />
*This is the first book where someone gets Chicken pox.<br />
*This the third time that [[Greg Heffley|Greg]]’s [[Diary]] is mentioned, the first is [[Diary of a Wimpy Kid]].<br />
*This is the 3rd book in the series to have "the" in the title.<br />
*This is the second book to begin in January. [[Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw|The Last Straw]] was the first.<br />
<br />
==Errors==<br />
*This is the second book to have an error in the length of a month. February had 5 weeks instead of 4. The first was Dog Days' June.<br />
*On Page 102, when Greg states the "motocross/wrestling event somehow morphed into a VALENTINE'S DAY DANCE", the capital "V" in "Valentine's" looks slightly different from other capital V's in the books.<br />
*On Page 172, Abigail appears to be taller than average when she touches the sixth line unlike the other scenes that appeared are even mid or low five lines or high four lines.<br />
**These mistake are usually not uncommon and happen in many other books.<br />
*Rodrick is shown much skinnier then he is in other books.<br />

'''Jeffrey Patrick "Jeff" Kinney '''(born 19 February 1971) is an American game designer and cartoonist. He is the author of the [[Diary of a Wimpy Kid (series)]]. He also made the child-oriented online role-playing game [[Poptropica]].<br />
==Early life==<br />
Kinney was born and grew up in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Washington,_Maryland Fort Washington, Maryland], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States United States]. He had two brothers and a sister. He attended the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Maryland_at_College_Park University of Maryland at College Park] in the early 1990s. It was in college that Kinney created the popular comic strip, ''[[Igdoof]]'' that ran in the campus newspaper, ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Diamondback The Diamondback] which later became ''[[Diary of a Wimpy Kid]].<br />
<br />
==''Diary of a Wimpy Kid''==<br />
In 2004, Funbrain and Kinney released a web-book called Diary of a Wimpy Kid and the website made daily entries until June 2005. The web-book was a instant hit, reaching 20 million views by 2007, causing many readers to request a published version of the web-book. Kinney agreed and released [[Diary of a Wimpy Kid]] in 2007, but the book version was quite different. The most notable difference was that the drawings were edited using programs, the plot was slightly changed, and the book was also a little shortened. To date, thirteen Wimpy Kid books have been released, including two Do-It-Yourself books and three Movie diaries.<br />
==Professional Work==<br />
Kinney works as a writer and designer of online games. He also created the child-friendly website, [[Poptropica]], which is played by many kids around the world. Poptropica has two Wimpy Kid based islands called [[Wimpy Wonderland]] and [[Wimpy Boardwalk]] where many characters and places from Wimpy Kid are present. The ''Diary of a Wimpy Kid'' series has 58 million copies in print worldwide in softcover and in hardcover. In 2010 Wimpy kid was developed into a film and Kinney served as the executive producer. In the Rodrick Rules movie, he played as the character [[Mr. Hills]] and returned in the Dog Days movie to reprise the character.<br />
<br />
==Personal life==<br />
Kinney attended Bishop McNamara High School in Forestville, Maryland and lives in Plainville, Massachusetts with his wife, Julie, and two sons, Will and Grant. Jeff has a small house next to his home, where he writes and does karaoke. The character of Rodrick is believed to be based on his elder brother, [[Scott Kinney]] (musician) and Manny is believed to based on his younger brother, Pat. His great-grandmother was Polish.<br />
