Scout’s diary.  So today was my first day of school I am in the first grade I was thinking that today would be fun but boy was I wrong. When the teacher tried to give 25 cents and all I did was try to explain why Walter did not take the money. Mrs. Caroline yelled at me and told me to go to the corner. So I stood in the corner until lunch. I was looking for Walter so I could beat him up when I found I punched him lots of times when my brother Jem stopped me and invited Walter to eat lunch with us since at his house he does not eat a lot. We told Cal to get a third plate because we had company. Walter asked to have some syrup and Cal got some for him what he did with the syrup was really gross. He poured syrup on all of his food. I was like that’s really gross and Cal called me into the kitchen when I got in the kitchen Cal was talking to me about my manners when I have company and that they are allowed to do whatever they want to put on their food.  One day when I was walking home by the Radley house and I noticed a shinny siver thing in a knot hole of a tree I stopped and looked in it and took the piece of gum and ran home and started chewing the gum. I waited for Jem to get home and when he got home he asked me were I got that piece of gum. So I told him the follow me and I showed him. He started to freak out because I had got that gum from the Radleys house and people think that the Radleys poison things. So I spit it out and washed out my mouth. During the school year we kept on finding things in that knot hole of the tree. We hang out with a kid named Dill he is only in Maycomb during the summer and goes back to Mississippi for the school year. During the summer we never saw anything in the tree it’s like someone knows that we don’t go down there during the summer. We think that it could be Boo trying to communicate with us because one day we found some soap carvings that looked like us.
