For some reason,
today I recalled this scene from an early ‘80s episode of “Little House on The Prairie” in which adopted Ingalls son Albert (Matthew Laberteaux) goes into withdrawal after becoming a morphine addict.
When I first saw the following TV scene as a 14-year-old (especially the part where Laberteaux yaks up a substance that is clearly milk) I vividly recall bursting into laughter, and my mother scolding me for my lack of sensitivity.
But you know what? The scene is as hilarious today as it was back then.
Spoiler Alert: In case you're wondering, Albert indeed kicks his antebellum smack habit. But later on in the series, he dies of Scarlet Fever.
What a pisser.
