The children yearn for the mines.

Trees and grass and other green things around you in the garden have a positive psychological effect. The feeling of having done something visible has a positive psychological effect. Getting a physical workout has a positive psychological effect.

I know yours is a humorous comment, but a child digging in a garden has nothing to do with them yearning to be an early-capitalism style child laborer.

Jesus dude, go touch some grass.

We all know it's bad for children to work in mines, its a joke.

Hello Jesus dude. That's kinda what I said, no?

Yeah, but you sucked all the fun out of a joke that no one was confused about in the first place.

Don't let them bring you down. From where I'm standing, they're the killjoy.

Oh thank god for explaining that. I was convinced children want to be abused.
