Diary of a Young Girl from the 1850s (Morning)

Mary-Anne's Diary
Tuesday, April 12th

My older sister, Nadia, woke my brother and I up early this morning to start our daily chores. First I went to the chicken barn to gather all the eggs they had laid. I brought them into the house, but I accidentally tripped and dropped a few eggs. My sister saw the mess that I had made and hit me. I had to clean it up fast before my mother saw. After I cleaned the broken eggs and put the rest somewhere safe, My younger brother and I started to play with each other while waiting for my older sister and mother to make breakfast. When breakfast was ready, my family all sat down and ate. My older brother, David, had to go to school so he didn't get a chance to finish all of his breakfast. Later on, my father decided to go hunt for animals to eat for lunch. 

After everyone had finished eating breakfast, Nadia and I gathered all the dishes and cleaned the table.While my mother and sister were washing the dishes, my brother and I decided to knit my older sister a hat since she doesn't have one at the moment. When we were done knitting the hat, we showed it to her. She was very happy and thankful we had done that for her. 

My sister and I started to gather all the dirty clothes to wash them. After gathering the clothes we went to the bathroom and started scrubbing. My sister went to help out my mother to start making lunch, leaving me alone with all the dirty clothes to wash. An hour later I had finished washing the clothes and hung them on the dryer line.
