Caroline quotes from Little House on the Prairie

Charles

How was school today?

It was fine, Pa.

Mary

Not for me. My day was awful and it's all because of that numbskull Johnny Johnson!

Caroline

What on Earth? Why, he seemed like such a nice lad.

Mary

He went off and put my initials on the sweetheart tree for everyone to gape at. I don't even like him! Willie's right, he looks like a scarecrow, and he's scatterbrained as well!

[standing up] How could you be so mean? Johnny Johnson's the best-looking boy in the whole school. You're the numbskull! [runs out]

I don't want to grow up to be a woman. It hurts.

Caroline

Well, we never do completely because in every woman there's a little girl, and in every little girl, there's a woman.

Caroline

[about the baby] He's still not gaining.

Well, he's not gaining, but he's not losing. Just holding his own. I think we'll try putting him on regular milk. I believe that'll do the trick.

Caroline

But his appetite is good.

Well, there might be something wrong with your milk, Caroline. It's just a difference in body chemistry. That's what they call it.

Caroline

It's never happened before.....

Oh, now, don't start worrying. Everybody starts worrying when they don't have a fat baby.

Caroline

Oh, I'm not worried, just so long as you say everything's all right.

Everything's fine.
