From 8-year old Hilda’s diary:
Aunt Tillie loves to work in the garden. I don’t like to work in the garden but I do like to sit in it and sun bathe but today Aunt Tillie said that she would teach me how to work in the garden and she bought me a little red watering can and a package of seeds and a box to plant the seeds in. She showed me how to make a little ditch in the soil with my finger not too deep and then we sprinkled the seeds in it and covered them with more soil to keep them warm and then watered them with a tiny bit more water, just gently. Now all we have to do is give them a drink every day and wait for pretty flowers to come up. Then Aunt Tillie said that this is how babies come but I don’t see how that could be and I am sure that the stork doesn’t bring them either.
