Today was not a good day at all. My two aunts fought over who was gonna take me into their home for the next month. My aunt Judi lost the argument so I'm staying with her and my two cousins. I have to sleep with the dog in the basement and its not very fun. It's cold and the dog always sleeps right on top of me! My two cousins dont make it any better for me either. The oldest one, Jonny, likes to rough house with me. Every time he sees me he hits me and wrestles me to the ground. Then there's the stuck up one, Katie. She doesn't even acknowledge me! She walks by me all the time never even making eye contact and when I try to say hi or a simple smile she stomps on my foot. She's young though so it don't really bother me. My aunt ain't the nicest either. I get the a scraps at dinner, the food they don't want. And I'm not even aloud to sit at the dinner table. I guess cause I don't have a family they look down on me. But I'm hanging in here only because there's only one more month left until summer. I can't wait till I get to see Jem and Scout again I miss them a lot. I got some good ideas on how to have fun this year!

Dear Diary,
Today me and Jem thought of a very good idea. When we were sitting around doing nothing we started to talk about Boo Radley. We are just so curious about him! We decided that we really want to meet him and find out the truth. So, our plan is to give him a note inviting him to come hang out with us tell us about what goes on in that house of his. I know its really none of our buisness, but we're buying him ice cream when he does actually come out so I think he will agree to doing it. Scout snuck up on me and Jem discussing it, and she did not seem to please with what we were saying. She told us that we were going to get killed if we actually do it or if we go near that house. But before we even told her we made her promise us something. And that something was for her to be the one to deliever the note, and we got her! So, im really hoping that we get a response to Boo Radley and I really hope that he comes out so we can finally just know the truth. All the rumors are bugging me and everyone tells me different stories. I really dont think he's a bad guy, but people tell me he is so I'm not sure what to believe. But I hope the rumors are wrong and I hope I find that out soon.

Dear diary,
Today Scout asked me about my father. I don’t think she understood what was happening or why I blushed when she asked me. I get really sensitive over that, because I do wish that I had my father with me and I really wish that he never left us. But I guess because her father did not leave her and she doesn’t know of any people whos fathers did, she didn’t understand what she was saying or understand what was happening at the time. I know people are going to wonder where my dad went and wonder why I never speak about him, but it hurts when people wonder and I have to tell them. I feel stupid and embarassed. Some people understand though and know what happened to him, like Jem. He told Scout to hush up as soon as the words left her mouth because he already knew that my dad had abandoned me. But I guess there is not anything I can really do about it.
But no body knows the real secret about him. He left us when I was six years old, right when my mom lost her job. He told us that he was going out of town to pick up some food for us because it was hard for us to afford any. The trip was only supposed to take him three days, and after a week we started worrying. We thought he died or something bad happened to him and five months later we got a letter in the mail. He told us he couldn’t do it anymore, living with no money or food. He met some rich women on his way, she took him in and fed him and they ended up getting married. My mom cried for weeks, then one day she finally decided to move on. That’s when my mom got another job. It’s not that best job but its good enough. When people talk about my dad it gets rough for both my mom and I, but I guess we’ll just have to live with it.
