| This is one of my favorited ones. It teaches us all a good lesson in friendship. & how telling the truth and being honest can be hard at times,but sometimes it's best.

| @Sweetskrissy Yes, Nellie a little brat in this episode. I want slap her too. very good lesson about from telling the truth to lying about it. Laura's other crazy dream. the funny scene in this episode. After Laura's dream, (The one where Laura & the other cell mates were getting the scamp foods on the floor. Laura is pounding on the wall, in the loft. Shouting I want more food. Mary, is asking Laura what she was doing. Charles calls up to them, what's going on. Laura telling Mary not to tell. I think, this is what they say: ("m going by memory) Mary: *thinking of excuse to lie.* Laura fell out of the bed. Charles: Laura, you all right? Laura: Yes, Pa. Charles: Good, go back to bed. | |

| This is a great episode, one of my favorites. It has great moral lessons that can be very helpful for kids (and adults too for that matter). | |

| I think it's bread crumbs, Ruth. Wow what dreams of terrifying things. They are kind of fun to watch,but show how Laura terrible felt.

| I liked parts of this, I thought the dreams were a bit weird (hanging??) Anna was sweet and I thought it was good to show the different reactions with Nellie, Charles and Caroline and Mary being upset with Laura, Anna's hurt, Laura's anguish. I do think that although Laura taking the music box was wrong and she did go through a lot, it was made light of to some degree. What if it didn't break, would Charles just have heard it playing in the barn loft and then asked her what that was? Then what? The Anna angle softened the stealing part but the fact was, she took it being upset over a more practical present and whether Nellie cared about it was not a factor. It wasn't a living thing like Bunny. She might as well took all her dolls too! That said, I have empathy but it reminds me when James took the razor, no matter what, stealing is wrong, what Nellie did was awful, but it was Laura that went along with it. | |

| Laura tends to get out of punishment a lot though. She stole something and although Nellie "made her" do things, she was old enough to know better. She knew she could work off the money at the store or whatever but it made better drama this way. I always thought Mary should have punished with the barn fire too, not hit, but punished. That wasn't a little thing, the whole barn and animals could have died and she could have been hurt too.

But she was punished... her punishment was all of the pain and suffering that she ended up going through before she told her parents. They could see that she had been through a lot, and decided that Nels would determine the punishment for Laura. Laura even told Nels that she would do anything to pay for it (like work off the money at the store). Nels also recognized what she had gone through, and thought that was enough of a punishment. Doesn't sound like she was trying to get out of any punishment to me. I agree. It wasn't as if Laura was merely sorry that she got caught, or something like that - she was repentant for what she had done. And she learned her lesson, because she never did that again. | |

| I always thought that this ranked up there as one of the sweetest episodes ever done on Little House. When Anna tells Laura that if she had a doll, she would call it Laura because she was so nice to her, it really got to me. Katy Kurtzman was cast perfectly for that show. Just as she was in " I Remember". It's a good thing I wasn't Michael Landon. I would have made them ALL regulars! Katy Kurtzman, Rachel Longaker.....the list goes on and on.....

Funny you should say that.......To this day, it is hard for me to watch that scene of Nellie making fun of her. Of all of the stuff she pulled, that to me was the cruelest.... "Albert, do you REALLY think you are old enough to know what love is?" "I must be Pa. I love you, I have for a long time." | |

| It was difficult for the actress to do that scene. Sometimes it is harder to realize that something is just fictional because of strong implication of what can and does unfortunately occur too often in real life. | |

Unfortunately you are spot on David. Never understood how a human being can be capable of that. I was sure no saint when I was a kid, but that kind of thing was off limits for me.....
