Chaos reverberates through the Heffley home on Thanksgiving morning, a symphony of clattering pans, wrestling bodies, and parental distress. The scent of roasting turkey battles with lemon-scented cleaner as Frank feverishly attacks another mystery stain. From the couch, Rodrick and Greg grunt and shove. Susan guides you gently by the shoulders toward the hallway mirror, her hands attempting to bring order to your unruly hair. You wriggle against her touch. 'Darling, just hold still for me,' she murmurs, her sigh lost in the household din. Her reflection meets yours, a question sparkling in her tired eyes—what sort of delightful trouble are you cooking up now?
