* In ''The First Four Years,'' Laura finds adjusting to being a farmer's wife difficult. When she is tasked with cooking a meal for the threshers, she is so stressed and harried that she forgets to put sugar in the pie. And since it was rhubarb pie, Laura is horrified at how it must taste without sugar. (In a heartwarming moment, the first man to taste the pie, a neighbor of her parents, has spent the entire meal being cheerful and jovial and generally making Laura's first taste of being a farmer's wife look successful. He is surprised, and Laura feels awful, but he quickly covers by saying it's better this way, putting a few spoonfuls of sugar on it and saying every man can sweeten it to his taste without hurting the cook's feelings.)
** Laura is home alone when a group of Native Americans descend on the farm. Laura is nonplussed, until they head for the barn and her horse. She marches over and ''slaps'' one of them. Their leader appeared to be so impressed with her bravery that he proposes marriage.

* In ''Prairie Girl'', Laura and Almanzo go and visit the Boasts, and mr. Boast decides to play a prank on them. When they announce they are going to leave, he asks them to stay until the moon comes up, knowing that this won't happen until past midnight (and that Laura and Almanzo thought it would happen much earlier in the night). They end up staying, and the joke ends up being on the Boasts, when mr. Boast can't stay awake and falls asleep in his chair, and mrs. Boast almost does the same. Laura and Almanzo remain wide awake, and they do indeed stay until the moon comes up. Ma is not best pleased when Laura tries to sneak in that late, but Laura and Almanzo have a good laugh about the whole thing.

Season 4's "The Creeper of Walnut Grove" saw aspiring private detectives Laura and Andy Garvey attempt to solve a slew of petty thefts of foodstuffs an small livestock, perpetrated by a person they designate as "The Creeper". They set a trap on the Ingalls farm designed to dump a bucket of green dye on the perpetrator, but when Charles trips the trap, he is doused with the dye and his hair is turned green. As even Caroline is unable to stifle her laughter at this sight, Charles is mortified and refuses to enter public with his head uncovered. But at church service, where he obviously cannot wear his hat, all of his friends and neighbors burst into uncontrollable guffaws upon seeing him. [[GoodShepherd The Reverend Alden]], at first perplexed as to what his congregation finds so hilarious, enters the church and has to stifle his initial surprise at seeing a pillar of the community and one of his devout church members and with a shock of pine green hair. To his credit, Alden recovers, and (with some slight stammers), begins his opening oratory, taking care to state that he chose the subject of his sermon (the 23rd Psalm) well ahead of that day (and Charles' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck expression when he immediately recognizes that passage is just priceless]]): a Psalm that just happens to begin with "The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want- he maketh me to lie down in ''green'' pastures". And when the Reverend (along with the rest of the congregation) [[NotSoAboveItAll explodes into uproarious laughter]], Charles [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere opts to leave immediately]].

** Made [[DudeNotFunny substantially less funny]] by the fact that Laura is still a fairly young teenager at the time as compared to Almanzo being in the latter half of his 20's by then. She might have been just too young to realize that a grown man was trying to court her. Also of note here is that her own mother took issue with him courting her for precisely that reason.

Laura slyly suggests, "Don't put sugar in your tea, Pa, and you'll get the full flavor of the tea," and Pa comes right back with, "Tea brings out the flavor of the sugar, Half-Pint."
