true 😂

like no one ever doubted her

okay but what about the whole ‘laura was a hero’ thing

ugh

or the danger

like no one talks about the work

okay but what about the whole ‘pioneer life was simple’ thing

lol

but also they had each other

like no one ever had a bad day

okay but what about the whole ‘they were always happy’ myth

ew

like no one talks about the smell

okay but what about the whole ‘pioneer life was romantic’ thing

yes way

no way

wait what

like no one ever misbehaved

okay but what about the whole ‘laura was a perfect kid’ thing

but also they had bonfires

like no one talks about the constant fear

okay but what about the whole ‘pioneer life was peaceful’ myth

or the bears

okay but what about the whole ‘prairie was just grass’ thing

but also she was the only one keeping them alive

like no one ever questioned her

okay but what about the whole ‘ma was always right’ thing

but also they had way more freedom
