Ha! Nice one.
Caroline Ingalls hardly even used contractions when she spoke -- how can anyone nowadays hope to compete even on that level? (Nevermind the cheese, bread, sausage, hulled corn, maple sugar, mending, sewing....)
I was most impressed by her ability to run a pioneer household by herself (!) while her three (!!) children (including a baby!) quietly played by themselves all day (!!!). Clearly, I suck.
