I 'm going to tell her she was right and we were wrong . Josie 's beat them all , and I 'm going to tell her so ! '' When Jack and Jill Took a Hand Jack 's Side of It Jill says I have to begin this story because it was me -- I mean it was I -- who made all the trouble in the first place . That is so like Jill . She is such a good hand at forgetting . Why , it was she who suggested the plot to me . I should never have thought of it myself -- not that Jill is any smarter than I am , either , but girls are such creatures for planning up mischief and leading other folks into it and then laying the blame on them when things go wrong . How could I tell Dick would act so like a mule ? I thought grown-up folks had more sense . Aunt Tommy was down on me for weeks , while she thought Jill a regular heroine . But there ! Girls do n't know anything about being fair , and I am determined I will never have anything more to do with them and their love affairs as long as I live . Jill says I will change my mind when I grow up , but I wo n't . Still , Jill is a pretty good sort of girl . I have to scold her sometimes , but if any other chap tried to I would punch his head for him . I suppose it is time I explained who Dick and Aunt Tommy are . Dick is our minister . He has n't been it very long . He only came a year ago . I shall never forget how surprised Jill and I were that first Sunday we went to church and saw him .
We had always thought that ministers had XXXXX be old .
