Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules Page #2

I mean, one day you're gonna be Uncle Greg

and Uncle Rodrick

to each other's kids.

That's important. So you need

to get to know each other.

What?

What?

You need to spend more time together. What?

So that's why I've come up with a new program

that's going to reward you

for spending time together.

I'm calling it...

"Mom Bucks"!

You're paying us with fake money?

Yeah.

Okay, now, for every hour that you

spend together without fighting,

for example, let's say you

give Greg a drum lesson,

you each earn a Mom Buck,

which you can then trade

in for one real dollar.

Oh.

So to start you off, I'm

giving you each five Mom Bucks.

Now, if you're smart, you'll

save up your Mom Bucks...

Can I cash out now?

Well, Rodrick,

if you save...

But can I cash out?

Yes, but...

I want to cash out.

Frank?

I know.

Uh... Okay. Yes, you can. All right.

Okay. All right, great.

We should get going,

because you don't want to be

late for school. All right?

Yeah, gotta go. Let's go. Okay, all right.

This Mom Bucks thing

is a gold mine, muchacho.

You better not

ruin it for me.

Most kids hate it

when summer ends,

but I have to say, right now, school

is starting to look pretty good.

Welcome back.

It's nice not to be

the new kids this year.

I agree.

I know. Look at all

the tiny sixth-graders.

I'm so glad that's

not me this year.

Just a little higher.

Just a little higher.

Whoa, Greg!

Look who's in our class!

This was my chance.

If I could sit next to Holly,

I'd have the whole year

to show her how great I am.

No way, Greg Heffley.

This is my seat.

No, it's not.

I was here first.

It's mine!

Let go!

You know I'm stronger than you, Greg Heffley!

Don't make me beat you up again!

Let's get something straight!

I was sick that day and

I had something in my eye!

Well!

I've never had students so

eager to start the school year.

What's going on?

This is my seat!

This is my seat!

Okay, let's start

again. What are your names?

Patty Farrell,

two R's, two L's.

Greg Heffley.

Would you be related

to Rodrick Heffley?

I've got my eye

on you, Heffley.

There's no way to escape.

It's unbelievable! Even at

school, Rodrick is ruining my life.

Shh!

He might hear you.

Nah. Watch.

Holy cow!

He once slept through

an entire day.

Do you have an amazing talent

that you'd like to share?

Today, Plainview City Council

announced a brand-new local contest:

Plainview's Most Talented.

Hey! Greg!

Maybe we should...

Can it,
