That Calpurnia! That stupid cook burned me and got me in trouble. I was just sitting there waiting for my breakfeast, and she spills hot grits all down my chest! Never have i felt such pain, and all because she is clumsy. My father should have fired her for that. I now have burns all down my stomach that i have to lotion every couple of hours. Yet, im the one who got yelled at! Atticus really took it out on me too much, I didnt mean to call her the n- word, it just slipped out. I was just so mad. I know its bad and all, and i did apolize, but i shouldnt be punished further. People use that word round here all the time. I say it once and i get a lickin. Scout runs her mouth everyday, and get nuttin. Oh well, i learned my lesson. Cal apolized too, she didnt really mean to spill the grits on me. And she still mad for what i called her. From now on ill watch what i say. Atticus says times will be gettin harder each day round here, and if i fill my head with that nonsense, then we no better then the rest.

Dear Jem,
I get in trouble too. I just get more slack because I am younger than you are. I'm sorry that you got burnt. I know that it was just an accident. I feel bad for you.
Sincerely,
Scout

aw Jem i think you should be nice to Cal, she didn't mean to spill them grits on you. She feeds you everyday and it was just an accident.. You need to cheer up.
