On the last day of school , i found two pieces of gum in a knothole in one of the Radley's oak trees. I remember the flavor of the sweet Wrigley's mint and stupid Jem yelling at me to take it out of my mouth and that it would kill me if I continued to chew on it any longer. We also found other things in the knothole of that tree. It became our secret supplier of trinkets and gum. We are still playing the Radley game and I hate being Mrs. Radley, she is such a boring character, But I don't got a choice cuz' I'm the only girl.
One of the most recent plays we've done is where Boo (dill) stabs his father in thew leg with a pair of scissors. Atticus is still upset about the fact that we are still obbsessed with the entire Boo Radley thing, Just when we finished the skit, he came out side and scolded us for playing with scissors and not leavignt he subject of Boo Radley and his family affairs alone.
But that freak Nathan Radley has plugged up our dear tree with the stupid excuse that it is sick and it is dying and it is best to treat a sick tree by plugging it up with cement.
Today we were talking with Miss Maudie Atkinson, one of our neighbors. We've only began to talk to her for a few days now, and she seems to be a nice lady. She spends all day tending to her garden and trying to keep us out. My favorite part about her is her tasty pound cake, and the way she loves anything that comes from the ground except nut-grass she and that grass are sworn enemies form birth. Well as I was saying, we were talkibng to her and we asked her if Boo was still alive. She sadi yes and that we should stay away from those morbid subjects, and to stop calling him Boo, that he has a proper name and we should call him that.
