The snowball had gotten so heavy that it tore up all the sod Dad had just laid down this fall.
I was hoping it would snow a few more inches and cover up our tracks, but just like that, it stopped snowing.

Our plan to build the world's biggest snowman was starting to fall apart. So I came up with a better idea for our snowball.
Every time it snows, the kids from Whirley Street use our hill for sledding, even though this isn't their neighborhood.

So tomorrow morning, when the Whirley Street kids come marching up our hill, me and Rowley are going to teach those guys a lesson.

When I woke up this morning, the snow was already starting to melt. So I told Rowley to hurry up and get down to my house.
While I was waiting for Rowley to show up, I watched Manny trying to build a snowman out of the piddly crumbs of snow that were left over from our snowball.

It was actually kind of pathetic.

I really couldn't help doing what I did next. Unfortunately for me, right at that moment, Dad was at the front window.

Dad was ALREADY mad at me for tearing up the sod, so I knew I was in for it. I heard the garage door open and I saw Dad coming outside. He marched right out carrying a snow shovel, and I thought I was going to have to make a run for it.

But Dad was heading for my snowball, not me. And in less than a minute, he reduced all our hard work to nothing.

Rowley came by a few minutes later. I thought he might actually get a kick out of what happened.

But I guess he had his heart set on rolling that snowball down the hill, and he was really mad. But get this: Rowley was mad at ME for what DAD did.
I told Rowley he was being a big baby, and we got in a shoving match. Right when it looked like we were going to get in an all-out fight, we got ambushed from the street.

It was a hit-and-run by the Whirley Street kids.

And if Mrs. Levine, my English teacher, was there, I'm sure she would have said the whole situation was "ironic."

Today at school they announced there's an opening for the cartoonist job in the school paper. There's only one comic slot, and up until now this kid named Bryan Little has been hogging it all to himself.

Bryan has this comic called "Wacky Dawg," and when it started off, it was actually pretty funny.
But lately, Bryan's been using his strip to handle his personal business. I guess that's why they gave him the axe.
[Image: a cartoon showing a boy talking to a dog.] The Caption reads: " Wacky Dawg
Hey, Wacky dawg, say somethin' funny!
Actually, I have something serious on my mind today.
Bryan little
Susan Lim, if you are reading this, Bryan is very sorry he kissed your best friend Rachel behind the lockers. He hopes you can find it in your heart to forgive him.
P.S Barry Palmer, you still owe Bryan five dollars, you BUM!"
As soon as I heard the news, I knew I had to try out. "Wacky Dawg" made Bryan Little a celebrity at our school, and I wanted to get in on some of that kind of fame.
I had a taste of what it's like to be famous at my school when I won honorable mention in this antismoking contest they had.

All I did was trace a picture from one of Rodrick's heavy metal magazines, but luckily, no one ever found out.
