When they get home, they are soaked with a trash can full of water by Greg's father who mistakes them for teenagers. On Halloween night, Greg and Rowley go trick-or-treating, but are challenged by a group of teenagers who spray them with a water-filled fire extinguisher. Greg and Rowley decide to make a haunted house after seeing the popularity of Crossland High School's haunted house, but they only end up profiting two dollars. Near Halloween, Greg writes that his father likes to hide in the bushes on Halloween night and drench teenagers that walk by their driveway with a trash can full of water. Greg's father does not encourage his way of life - playing video games all day - rather than going outside and playing sports. He has a teenage brother, Rodrick, who likes to pick on him, and a little brother, a toddler named Manny, who gets everything he wants and gets away with everything he does wrong. Although Greg wants to be famous and explains popularity to Rowley, "it just goes in one ear and out the other with him."

He also talks about his best friend, Rowley Jefferson. However, the last victim of the Cheese Touch moved away to California, and Greg hopes nobody starts it up again. If someone touches it, they have the "Cheese Touch," which they are stuck with until they pass it on by touching someone else. It started when someone left a piece of cheese on the blacktop, and it got moldy.
