Little Joe

My husband loves watching Bonanza and Gunsmoke. Our DVR is filled with episodes. This summer the girls have been watching Bonanza with their dad most every evening. Yesterday, Holly announces that she has chosen a husband! She wants to marry Little Joe Cartwright. I have to tell her that his real name is Michael Landon and he that he died. "No mom" she replies. "He is not really dead, he just lays in the dirt until the commercial is over. He only gets shot in the shoulder. Or maybe the leg. Never dead shot."
