Greg's parents threaten vacation from "summary" of The Last Straw (Diary of a Wimpy Kid #3) by Jeff Kinney
Greg's parents are fed up with his behavior and have threatened him with no vacation if he fails to improve. Struggling to stay out of trouble, Greg must decide if he can change his ways in time for summer.- Greg's parents were about to go on vacation and the whole family was so excited to join them on their trip. However, they started to threaten him that if he didn't improve his grades then they would cancel the vacation for everyone.
- One week before the departure, Greg's parents reminded him of the potential consequences of such bad academic performance by bringing out the prospect of skipping the vacation altogether.
- As much as Greg wanted to enjoy his full freedom while his parents were away, this could only happen if he managed to pass all his tests and work hard at school.
- With a stern ultimatum set from his folks, there seemed like no other option for Greg but to buckle down and begin doing what was expected of him in order to save the vacay.
- In any case, learning the tough lessons of responsibility and sacrifice was always important in life and this episode served as a great reminder to Greg about the same.
