"See me after dinner young lady,"

When Scout begins swearing, Uncle Jack is not fond of it. Although Atticus has told her that it's not lady like, she doesn't listen to anyone until him. This particular scene is important to me because it reminded me of my Uncle. Just like Uncle Jack, my Uncle is sort of the cool relative. I can see how Scout would only listen to him. I also liked  how their conversation started with Scout not being able to swear, and lead to Scout asking Uncle Jack what a 'whore lady' was. Being a single man with no kids, he didn't know what to say so he made up a whole story which I thought was kind of funny. Later on that night, he said "I'll never marry, Atticus".
