[[File:Greg's Preschool.png|thumb|left|Greg in preschool]]
[[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.


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 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 the morning, he has to sleep on the up part of the couch.


Greg says how he wanted to keep a journal when he was much younger,because he thinks that whoever will write his bio will have a lot of questions about his childhood,Greg says luckily he remembers them all and says he even knew about things that happened before he was born,he was in a dark space swimming around,doing backflips and taking naps whenever he wanted,then his Mom would wake him out of his nap by turning on classical music,because she thinks it might make Greg genius when he is born and she would tell [[Greg]] about her day and would make frank also tell Greg about his day at work and she would also read out to Greg for a half-hour till she went to sleep,[[Greg]] could listen everything thing she says,even if he didn't wanted to and whenever his parents kiss he kicks and the kiss again make it worser for Greg.
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 their 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. On the partner announcement day, in Greg's favour [[Ruby Bird|Ruby]] is paired with [[Fregley]], but Greg and four other kids were partnerless. The teacher paired them up with each other.


Then a few months later Greg was born and when he was in delivery room he was in a very lousy mood yelling and crying and wanted to tell the doctor to put him back,Greg still tries to recreate that feeling by adding bubble bath in the tub and folding his eyes.
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's 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.


Greg used to think he was the only child untill he met Rodrick,this dissappointed him,back then his family used to live in a small apartment so Rodrick had to sleep on the crib,while Greg in the dresser drawer,but then his Dad moved away and he got the crib and Rodrick got a bed.
===February===
[[File:Mrs. Birch tells Eugene Ellis and student councillors about the toilet paper campaign.jpg|thumb|The Student Council]]
[[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.  


Greg says how everything that time was hand me down from Rodrick and it would be worned out and toren.
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 chickenpox. He tries to cover it up since chickenpox has been contagious in school. 
When his Mom says she is having another Baby [[Greg]] told me [[Manny]] that the upstairs bathroom is Greg's.Greg says how he is paranoid that Manny's ubetical cord might come in his food or some other place because his cord was never seen when it was dried up. Greg's Mom would get him educational videos to watch,but Greg changed the channels and removed the batteries from the remote and hid them inside his crib,making his mom not know why the remote isn't working,but his Mom did found out that. Because [[Susan]] didn't make Greg crawl on the floor more,all the kids in his playgroups could walk and run,but he was still trying to get his first step done.Then his mom bought him Baby Adventures Action Walker which had a cup holder and many toys sticking on it and even had music coming out of it,that made other kids feel jealous,but his Mom read that Baby Walker are bad and don't make kids grow the bones to walk correctly so she returned it.When Greg learned to walk,he was already in Pre-School and the kids could take of buttons and zips while Greg needed help from grown up to do that,Greg thought of slowing them down by feeding them bad knowledge,but his teacher thought he isn't learning shapes correctly so she called his Mom and she made Greg skip a grade,straight to kindergarten,but that decesion turned out to be disaster as kids could do many things Greg can't do so he got scared and started hiding and the teacher had to call his Mom,so his mom made him go back to Pre-School.


Greg talks about the show "[[The Snurples]]" and how it has it own language that little kids like [[Manny]] would understand and how Manny talked to everybody in that language.
[[File:Rowley and Abigail having a conversation.jpg|left|thumb|Greg, Rowley, and Abigail at Corny's]]
Greg goes with [[Rowley Jefferson|Rowley]] and [[Abigail]] to [[Spriggo's]]. The host at Spriggo's tells him that gentlemen 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 chickenpox. Later they head home, Greg realizes the "chickenpox" on Abigail was actually a pimple. He doesn't think Abigail saw it that way, because she wasn't chatty with him on the way home.


Greg says how Manny locks himself up in Sweetie's old excersise pen to keep his toys to himself and a kid who terrotized Manny into beleving he was a Vampire,Greg says he feels bad for Manny and how he had a scary kid called [[Bradley]] in pre-school who terrorized every chance he got and how Mom wrote a book about him and right before it was published his family moved in again,Mom read the stories to Manny,it made Manny scared of other Kids.
In 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 chickenpox, 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.


Greg talks how Manny has Imaginary friends called [[Joey]],[[Petey]],[[Danny]],[[Charles Tribble]],[[The Other Charles Tribble]] and [[Johnny Cheddar]] and how he uses them to escape from uncomfortable situations like when he broke the plate he told Johnny broke it and he used Danny to get extra dessert.
==Background==
In writing the book, [[Jeff Kinney]] based it on "a kid’s initial feeling of 'betrayal' when his childhood friend chooses a love interest over him." He continued, "You feel broken up with. You’ve put a ton of time into this friendship, you think you know them better than anybody else, and suddenly they're changing into a different person."<ref>[https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/soloish/wp/2015/07/21/are-you-a-third-wheel-navigating-that-other-kind-of-threesome/ Washington Post]</ref>


Greg talks about Corny's Family-Style Resturant and how they have a rule of not wearing ties and how they cut his dad's off and how the kid area is a total disaster and it even has bathroom doors near the tables and they're always swinging open and how kids mess up with Ice-Cream dispenser.

Mom makes Manny go into the ball pit so he interacts with other kids,but he just hids himself until its time to go and Greg tells how Manny once got stuck in a tube and when Greg found Manny he also got scared and they had to have a waiter come and save them,this caused Greg's favorite jeans to get dirty and even though washing them with bleach three times the stains won't go.

Greg says how his Mom ruined his time table of the year by three-hours the story went:Mom wanted Manny to feel what its like in midnight without making him stay up late night,so she turned all the clocks three hours ahead and made Frank count with Manny,Greg thinks it is really new year and does countdown with them and sleeps at 10:30pm thinking its 1:30am.
==Errors==
*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.
*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.
*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.
**These mistakes are usually not uncommon and happen in many other books.
*Rodrick is shown much skinnier than he is in other books.


Greg was doing his chores in the morning and heard a knock at the door,it was his [[Uncle Gary]] and he had borrowed Money from Frank to buy "Boston" shirts from a guy at boston,but they had a typo saying "Botson",but he still didn't want to give up selling them and He,Frank and Greg spent the whole morning putting the shirts in the garage and he sold one to Rodrick for three bucks.

==Excerpts==
*''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.''
 
*''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''.
 
*''"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 wingman in history.''''"''' - Greg Heffley''
*''Im 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.''
*''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 Chedder is at it again.''
*''Everything probably would've been just fine, but at lunch someone threw a roll of toilet paper at somebody else, and withing about fifteen seconds it was a total madhouse.''
*''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.''

Greg in preschool

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 would send through "parental speakers". Susan would also tell Greg about her life through the speakers too and 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. 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.

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.

Greg then explains whatever Susan did for Greg would not work for Manny as she uses a different technique. 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 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. 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 shift his bed away from the wall and whenever Rodrick is kicked out of bed in the morning, he has to sleep on the up part of the couch.

Greg explains how 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 their names in slips and submitting them.
