Hello, diary. Sorry I haven't wrote lately, but so muchhas been happening. Mainly, mama busted up a Harper Valley P. T. A. meeting and really socked it to them. She called them all "a bunch of hypocrites" and spilled the beans about them all. I'm sure it'll leave us at the bottom of the popularity polls, but it'll teach them not to screw around my mama. A man there, named Will Newton has big eyes on her, So, I suppose we'll be hearing from him any minute now. It's late and I'm tired. Good night.
