From 8-year old Hilda’s diary:
We have a new Sunday school teacher and her name is Miss Meadow, just like a real meadow, and I like her. She said that we are old enough to know about the “Ten Commandments,” but first she was going to tell us the story of Moses because he gave them to us. Moses went up to the top of Mt. Sinai and got them from God. God gave them to him on a tablet. In those days a tablet was a piece of stone, not a pill. She said that he was a wonderful man, Moses, not God, and she read to us out of the Bible and told us how he wore a dress with a long skirt embroidered with pomegranates. I don’t know why he wore a dress instead of a suit, I guess it was the style then, but he would look like a sissy if he walked around San Francisco in such an outfit. My father would look funny in a skirt even without the pomegranates. My father is short and fat. Even Grandfather would look funny. And he is tall and thin.
