Storyboard Text
Rowley you are grounded. Greg may not come over for a week.
Does that mean no video games?
What happened to our giant snow ball?
“Rowley ended up getting grounded for that whole haunted house mess yesterday. He’s not allowed to watch TV for a week, AND he’s not allowed to have me over at his house...”
“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.”
What complications does Greg experience with his friend Rowley?
“Well, me and Rowley have officially been ex-friends for about a month now, and to be honest with you, I’m better off without him.”
