The TV show is SO DIFFERENT from the books, as far as characterization goes. Ma was so quiet and insistent on her girls being seen, not heard, moving softly, giving their things away, never exploring, sitting, sitting, sitting. TV Laura was far more rambunctious and outgoing than Book Laura ever was. (Bumps! I loved her apple boobs rolling down the aisle and hitting Miss Beetle's shoe. Oh, TV Laura...)

WAIT. HOW DO YOU SAY SLOU? Sloo? Or Slow? Or ow-like-cow?

There are so many words I learned how to pronounce YEARS after I learned their meanings for just that reason.
