The sociable

What's the most awkward social situation you've ever been in? It's hard to top Laura Ingalls Wilder's story of the "dime sociable" she attended.

After her friend Mary Power asked her to attend the sociable with her, Laura eagerly awaited the event for several days. But when she actually got to the sociable, she discovered it consisted mainly in sitting politely, nibbling a slice of cake, and listening to the grown-ups talk.

To read this socially awkward story, turn to Little Town on the Prairie chapter 17 "The Sociable". Enjoy!

Thanks for reading LHCO!
