WTFWJCVDD – Edition Twenty-Six

I really like the show “Little People Big World.” If you haven’t seen it, it’s a show on TLC about a pair of dwarf parents that have three kids, two of which are normal size. I watch it every now and then, but I haven’t caught it recently since my DVR has been broken. I find myself able to relate to Zach Roloff (a twin, and the only dwarf child) the best. He’s a hit with the ladies, is lazy as shit, and allegedly is hung like a donkey. While we have other emoitonal connections, I’m not going to get into that kind of depth.

Anyway, my friends laugh at me and tell me how stupid the show is. I disagree and try to explain to them how it’s quality viewing. One of them mentioned that they don’t enjoy watching it because they feel sorry for the characters. I told him that’s ridiculous – just because they’re different than he and I doesn’t make them unhappy (I mean they probably are, but that is not what the viewer sees). I also told him the show isn’t about the Roloff’s struggles, it’s about their accomplishments. He just didn’t get it.  I decided I would go through a list of things that make being a little person tolerbale. The following is open for interpretation, but borderline fact:

They would be eligible for the student discount for everything that applies.

Midget chicks don’t have to bend down on their knees and endure the pain/risk injury while giving a blowey.

They require less food and less booze to take care of business – it’s very economical.

They can shop at the Baby Gap (children size clothes are cheaper).

Sleeping on a couch is a like a king size bed to an average sized person.

They would get walked every time at bat.

They can live in a trailer and it would be like a mansion.

Don’t need to pay much for A/C in the summer since heat rises.

They can still drive all kinds of sweet power wheels and they only cost about $200.00.

They can wear a onesie and look adorable.

Flying coach is like first class.

They can hide almost anywhere.

They wear smaller shoes so if their foot prints were tracked at the scene of a crime, the police would assume a child was responsible.

Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not interested in being a midget, but compile all of these pro’s and you’ll see there is no reason to feel sorry for a little person. And if anyone saw the movie Child’s Play, you’d see that Chucky had striking strength for a person of his size. The point here is, there really isn’t one. I just wanted to share my feelings about a pretty sweet show. Everybody loved Wee Man and Rudy.

Until the next Kumate…
