Chapter Summaries & Analyses
In March, Rowley is called down to the office and accused of “‘terrorizing’ the kindergarteners when he was supposed to be walking them home from school” (179). Greg explains to the reader that last week he had to walk the kindergarteners home by himself while Rowley was taking a quiz. Greg notes that “[i]t had rained that morning, and there were lots of worms on the sidewalk” (180), so he chased the kindergarteners with the worms. A woman in the neighborhood thought that Greg was Rowley because Greg “was borrowing [Rowley’s] coat” (181), and she threatened to call the principal and report him. Greg “forgot about the whole thing” (181), but Rowley is suspended from Patrols for a week and has to apologize to the kindergarteners. Greg knows he should tell the truth and get Rowley off the hook, but he knows “[he’d] lose [his] hot chocolate privileges” (182) if he did confess. Greg decides to “let Rowley take one for the team this time around” (183), but he does tell Rowley what happened.
He encourages Rowley to “[b]e careful about who [he] lend[s] [his] coat to” (184), and Rowley decides to go home and take a nap instead of hanging out with Greg.
