Title: Dog Days For me, summer vacation is basically a three-month guilt trip. Just because the weather's nice, everyone expects you to be outside all day "frolicking" or whatever.

But the truth is, I've always been more of an indoor person all day playing video games and got only 1 hour of sleep. Jonathan, age 9 |

Once he woke Greg up at 3 in the morning and said it was time for school. Greg was making a lot of noise when he went down to get cereal. His dad screamed at him for eating Cheerios at 3 in the morning. He blamed it on Rodrick, but his dad just thinks he is crazy.
