By posting these, I know I'm breaking some sacred law of diary secrecy (or perhaps I'm obeying the natural law of maternal nosiness), but I came across these diary entries that Tillie wrote and had to share. I had no idea she was keeping a diary. They are so cute!
Dear Diary,
On my birthday, I got fish--3 fish. But, now I've got 2 because one died. And, I said, "Oh no! Two fish! Aaaaah, this is not good!"
Dear Diary,
One day, I had a horrible day. I said "Waaah, very bad!" It's because I didn't get to be a star student and I did not have any recess or any center time AND I went to my room.
