Because it is showing that Scout is acting like a kid and is not thinking before she talks.
It shows that children can be wrong and lie. But they can also help people and can tell the truth.
That Bob is not a good father and he doesn't treat his kids right. And he is not mature enough to be a father. And the kids are going to end like him.
It show that you don't always have to be involved in you parents business. And that you should always mind your own business.
