Melissa Sue Anderson: Mary Ingalls

Quotes 

• Laura Ingalls : [to Mary about the new baby]  Do you want a brother or a sister?

  Mary Ingalls : I don't care.

  Laura Ingalls : Pa wants a boy, you know.

  Mary Ingalls : How do you know that?

  Laura Ingalls : Because every time he talked about the baby at supper, he said "him" or "he." That's how I know.

  Mary Ingalls : Well, only God knows if it's a boy or a girl, so you might as well get some sleep.

  Laura Ingalls : I hope God wants a girl.

• Mary Ingalls : [to Laura]  You forgot the special prayer for Charles. Ma asked us to.

  Laura Ingalls : I don't have to.

  Mary Ingalls : Don't you even care about your own brother?

  Laura Ingalls : Pa cared enough for all of us, but that's all he cares about anymore.

  Mary Ingalls : That's not true and you know it!

  Laura Ingalls : It is too true. I asked God for a sister, and He didn't listen. So now I don't care.

  Mary Ingalls : You take that back or I'll tell Pa!

  Laura Ingalls : Go ahead. He won't listen. He'll be too busy playing with our brother. Go on. Tell him, you'll see.
