Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days Page #2

will be to stay one move ahead.

Those Warren boys

are already up, raring to go.

Our boys probably

won't even get up till noon.

I'm sorry. Did you say something?

What are you doing up?

It's the first day of vacation.

Did you think I'd just lie around all day?

Actually, that's exactly what I thought.

I can't find Manny's Tingy.

You know, it's probably time...

for him to move on

from that ratty old blanket anyway.

Manny was given Tingy

right after he was born.

Back then, Tingy was a fluffy blue blanket.

But now, it's a couple of pieces of yarn

held together with raisins and boogers.

You don't think he cares anymore?

I'm sure it'll turn up.

What?

Look at this garbage.

My dad and I don't agree on anything,

except for...

the comic Li'l Cutie. We both hate it.

But we can't stop reading it!

You're my BFF... Best Father Forever!

- It's not even a joke!

- I know.

Can we please focus?

We need to find Manny's Tingy.

I'm going to be late for work.

See you!

Vacation is on!

Greg.

Are you really going to sit inside

all day and play video games?

Hey, Dad.

Are you... sweating?

Yeah, I just finished up

some sports... playing.

How was your day?

Horrible! Manny still hasn't recovered

from losing Tingy.

Well, maybe it's for the best.

I think he should really move on.

Tingy!

Tingy! Oh, my gosh, honey,

you found your blanket!

This is great, but how

did it end up in the...

- Garbage?

- Frank?

Yeah?

You didn't.

I didn't...

know...

that it meant that much to him anymore.

How could you?

- Good morning.

- Morning!

Congratulations, player,

all your hard work has paid off.

You're now a Level Nine Necromancer!

You played video games all day.

Me?

No. I've been playing sports.

That's it! No more video games

for the rest of the summer!

You can't do that!

Oh, yeah, I can! I will! I am!

I'm unplugging it!

Does the DVD or the cable box go into...

Does the DVD player go into the cable...

You think this is funny?

It's amusing.

Well, then how about no video games and...

no television for the rest of the summer?

Does that make you laugh?

Dad, no!

I stopped laughing!

Guess who's the laugher now?

Me! I'm the laugher!

I'm the laughingest laugher

that ever laughed!

Funny stuff!

I'm going to work on my battle diorama.

Frank!

What are you doing? First Tingy,

and now Greg's video games?

General Lee isn't going to paint himself.

This is important.

You can't take away everything

they love and disappear downstairs.

You need to get to Greg's level
