December 15. Fite at resess today, Gran Miller and Ben Rundlet.
Ben licked him easy.  the fellers got to stumping each other to
fite.  Micky Gould said he cood lick me and i said he want man enuf
and he said if i wood come out behind the school house after school
he wood show me and i said i wood and all the fellers hollered and
said they wood be there.  But after school i thaught i aught to go
home and split my kindlings and so i went home.  a feller aught to
do something for his family ennyway.  i cood have licked him if i
had wanted to.

December 16. Tady Finton got licked in school today.  snowed today
a little.

December 17. rained in the nite and then snowed a little.  it was
auful slipery and coming out of church Squire Lane fell down whak
and Mr Burley cought hold of the fence and his feet went so fast
that they seemed all fuzzy, i tell you if he cood run as fast as
that he cood run a mile a minite.

December 18. brite and fair.  nothing particilar.  o yes, Skinny Bruce
got licked in school.

December 19. Cold as time.  Went to a sosiable tonite at the
Unitarial vestry.  cant go again because Keene told mother i was
impident to the people.  i want impident.  you see they was making
poetry and all sitting around the vestry.  they wanted to play
copenhagin and post office and clap in and clap out, but Mister Erl
woodent let them because it was in church.  so they had to play
poetry.  one person wood give a word and then the oppisite person
wood give a word that rimed with it.  it was auful silly.  a girl wood
give the word direxion and then a stewdcat wood say affexion and
waul his eyes towards the girl.  and then another wood say miss, and
another stewdcat wood say kiss and then he wood waul his eyes, and
when it came my turn i said what rimes with jellycake, and the girls
turned red and the stewdcats looked funny, and Mister Burley said
if i coodent  behave i had better go home.   Keene needent have told
mother anyway.  You  jest wait Keene, and see  what will happen
some day.

Most interesting! Looking forward to seeing the rest. 8)
I have my Dad's diaries from 1966 to 1990 that I have been slowly transcribing. Wish he had started sooner! I am also writing down some of the stories he told about himself and others.

I have a hard time beliving that saying "bellyache", even back then would bring that kind of a reaction.
I don't have a better guess at the moment though. ;D
