Dear diary
I figured out what"the option"was. Last night I over heard Maga and Mama talkin. And mama said that she needed to find a hiding place to make her final decision. After that, "the option"  was clear to Mama that it wouldn't be a "option" it will be a "plan". I started thinking 'bout what i want to bring into hiding with me.

Thing to bring into hiding
1.diary and pen
2.flashlight
3.peg my stuffed pig
4.picture box, were I keep all of my valuable photos

Yep that's my list, it may not be big but the items are important. I am really worried 'bout hiding. I heard stories in the school house 'bout families that tried to hide. Things didn't go to well, for they were found and drug away. Ya the scouters ain't vary friendly to us. Luckily I am the master at hide and seek, hopeful Mama will ask me before pickin a spot to stay. Like I said the scouters arent very nice to us, SLAVES. That's what they call us slaves, Mama hates that word she prefers workers. They also call us BLACKS. Mama hates that word too she prefers colored. Well that's all for now.
