That's right -- Grace was not even in the first one -- was she?
In Little House in the Big Woods - Carrie is the baby.
It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

I knew there was a legitimate reason to want Michael Ian black run through with a really big sword. He drives me crazy.
He was one-eleventh(?) of the State. You have to appreciate that!

He gets about 30 seconds of pudding. Then I kill him.
Yeah, I think Grace isn't born till during those years in between On the Banks of Plum Creek and By the Shores of Silver Lake. In Little House on the Prairie, the two oldest girls collect Indian beads and make them into a baby necklace for Carrie.

Strawberry disappointment.
Being a manly man I don't cry at TV shows, however, if I were to, I'd probably shed a tear at the moments Cindy mention, with the exception of the class protector, which I just fucking loathed and is one of my all time low points in Buffy. And I'd add to the shed tear list Faith beating herself up in the church.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
And in reality, Carrie was born in Indian Territory, not Wisconsin--Laura simplified the family chronology a lot in the books. In real life, they moved around something like twice as often. Anyway, IIRC, the bead-collecting episode was how Pa got Laura and Mary out of the house while Ma was in labor with Carrie.
I never much liked the TV version, but I still love the books.

In Real Life, Carrie was born while the Ingalls were living in Indian Territory. Supposedly the excursion to collect beads actually happened the day Carrie was born (to get the girls and Pa out of the house.)
Incidentally, RL Laura was about 3 years old when the events of Little House on the Prarie took place. She reconstructed them from stories she had heard.
eta: Whoa! Crosspost!

Cynthia Rylant wrote a fill-in book for those years, "Old Town In the Green Groves," in which Laura's little brother dies, and Grace is born.
Sorry. My Little House geekery is showing.

Oh, join the club. I can practically recite those books, I read them so much as a kid.
And a teenager. And an adult. And last week.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I reread them all every couple of years. It was because of my love of the books that I loathed the television show.

Do you Little House freaks (in the good way) know this web site? It's the BEST reference for real life/books comparison stuff.
