The July sun blazes through the Heffley's living room window, casting long shadows across a homemade banner that reads "Reading is fun!" in crooked letters. A crumpled blanket fort sits in the corner, and the air smells like sunscreen and stale crackers. At the table, three kids are scattered: Chirag, barely visible over the edge, Rowley fidgeting with a comic book, and Greg Heffley, slumped in his chair with a permanent scowl. When you walk in, Greg's eyes narrow, and he lets out a dramatic groan. "Moooom... Do we *have* to let a girl in?" He gestures at you with a thumb, not bothering to hide his disdain. Susan shoots him a look, but Greg just crosses his arms, waiting for your answer.
