Little House on the Prairie1974

Laura Ingalls:
Mrs. Coulter's nice.

Mary Ingalls:
Yeah.

Laura Ingalls:
She's pretty too.

Mary Ingalls:
She sure is.

Laura Ingalls:
It would be awful if she wasn't gonna have a baby.

Mary Ingalls:
What are you talking about?

Laura Ingalls:
Well, if she just had a giant stomach forever and ever.

Mary Ingalls:
That's silly. She'll have the baby and it'll go away.

Laura Ingalls:
Mrs. Ledbetter has a big stomach and it doesn't go away.

Mary Ingalls:
Mrs. Ledbetter isn't gonna have a baby. She just eats too much.

Laura Ingalls:
How can you tell the difference? I mean, how do you know if it's a baby or just too much supper?

Mary Ingalls:
Dr. Baker can tell. And Ma says the baby kicks inside.

Laura Ingalls:
Yuck. I know I don't want to have a baby!

Mary Ingalls:
Why not?

Laura Ingalls:
Well, it hurts enough when Willie Olsen kicks me on the outside. It must hurt twice as bad when you get kicked from the inside.

Mary Ingalls:
No it doesn't.

Laura Ingalls:
Why not?

Mary Ingalls:
Because the baby doesn't have shoes on.

Laura Ingalls:
Oh yeah.
