War with Grandpa (Chpts 21 to 37)

Peter's friends say Grandpa's war strategy is...

• Machiavellian

• psychological warfare

• trying to out-nice Peter

• Gorilla warfare

Grandpa says the only time you have to fight a war is when...

• someone attacks you and you need to defend yourself

• someone sends you a declaration of war

• you need to stick up for your rights

• you need to get back what is yours

Peter was not good at staying mad at someone. He never...

• held a grudge

• had a tantrum

• had mixed-up feelings

• sweet-talked people

• went bananas

When Billy and Steve came by to play Monopoly, they found...

• a note signed by THE OLD MAN

• there was no money, no playing pieces, no properties and no rules

• there was no playing board

• all of the above

Grandpa's first attack really worked because

• it made Peter make up new words to replace dirty words

• it made three good friends fall apart

• the boys couldn't play Monopoly

The day after the Monopoly trick, Grandpa's attitude confuses Peter because...

• he's fixing his rocker

• he's acting in a friendly way

• he suddenly thinks the war against Peter is fun

• he is sorry about slapping Peter

Why did Peter and Grandpa get up so early on the day they went fishing?

• Jenny came along

• Peter learned how to bait a hook, to row a boat, to clean a fish and get the scales off.

• the bait shop smelled funny.

• it was an adventure and Peter loved every minute of it.

Why was Grandpa's wristwatch so valuable to him?

• It was a present from Grandma on their 40th wedding anniversary

What happened while Peter waited for the other shoe to drop?

• Peter walked around going nervous

• Peter lay awake without sleeping a few nights

• Peter was reminded about the story of Damocles

• Peter left his school-books home one day

• Peter felt like he was in the dentist's office or at school just before a test.
