Hello there, I am Miss Maudie Atkinson, I have the pleasure of living in Maycomb, and I am here today to entertain the folk of Maycomb, and here is my advice column, where the people of our town can ask me questions, and I will help them in any way that I possibly can.
Q - My older brother is acting weird and I don't know what to do with him. He won't play with me anymore and all summer he pushed me away and played with Dill. He keeps calling me a girl and I don't understand why. What should I do Miss Maudie? - Scout, Alabama
A- Scout, dear, your brother is simply growing into a young man. It was bound to happen eventually. He is only becoming older and he doesn't like to play "kid" game anymore. Your brother just wants to branch away from you and you should just leave him alone. He is older than you dear. Yours sincerely, Miss Maudie Atkinson.
Q - Miss Maudie, what would you do if your only line of communication with someone was severed? I want to meet someone but I can't communicate with him anymore. What should I do? - Jeremy, Alabama
A - Jeremy, you can try to find another way to contact this person. You could send notes or letters to this person, or you can talk to him in person. There are many ways to communicate with people these days, so I suggest you to use our new technology to do so. You will get what you want if you simply keep trying and you do not give up. Yours sincerely, Miss Maudie Atkinson.
Q - I am having some problems with my children Miss Maudie. I have suspicions that my children are trying to reach Mr. Arthur Radley. However, I do not want to raise their suspicions that I might know what they are up to. I am sure that if this were to happen, that they would continue to attempt to reach this poor man, but they will do so under my nose and when I can not keep a safe eye on them. What should I do Miss Maudie Atkinson? - Atticus, Alabama
A - Atticus my dear, all that I can suggest you do is to keep an eye on them from afar, however, close enough that you can still see them. Try to not push them away, and let them know at any time that you can, that you are there for them. Eventually, they may come to with for help and it will be your responsibility at that time, to help them and to keep them from too much trouble. You just need to remember that they are still children, and that they are curious about the unknown world around them. Yours truly, Miss Maudie.
