Yesterday, we went to see the author of Diary of the Wimpy Kid!! We went on a bus but first we ate some yummy muffins with milk and then we had to wait a long time for the bus to come. On the bus I sat with 2 of my best friends and had a lot of fun. We were laughing and laughing till we couldn't laugh no more. Once we got of the bus I saw a big poster that said " Welcome Jeff Kinney" and Greg Heffley ( the kid in the book) drawn on it. when we went in we had to sit on the seats that were reserved for us. We were sitting in the first seats to watch him!!! We waited a long time till he finally walked on the stage. first he said that he wanted us to yell out " ZOO WEE MAMA"!!!!!!!! So we screamed as loud as we all could. He said that on our first try that we beat New York, but Denver and us were on a tie. So we did a second try and this time we beat Denver. After all that fuss he told us all kinds of stuff. Like boys vs girls. He said that all of the girls look the same in the book because the Greg is a boy and thinks that all of the girls looks the same because he is not one, but all of the boys are the same when he draws them in the diary (but he says that it is a journal in the book). He also said that it took him 9 years to write the green book. He also said that some of the things that he wrote in the book was from what he saw in his life or what he experienced in his life. Like when the book says that hi older brother made him think that he actually slept through the whole summer, it happened to Jeff Kinney too. He told us more stuff like how he had a journal of some ideas and how a mechanical device helped him draw his picture and straight out the lines for him. All you have to do is draw on the device and it shows up on the computer. It was so fun. After he was finished he went over to sign books for the people who bought the books. We left on the bus again and i got to go home with Ms. Moore giving me a ride. I had so much fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
