Pinky pageants

It's so funny to watch those shows where they follow toddlers and their arenas through their pageant careers. Often, when the parents are talking to the camera people, conversation goes like this.

Parent: Oh yes, she LOVES her pageants!

Kid: No, I don't.

Parent: Yes you do, honey. Mommy knows what's best for you.

Kid: I. Hate. You.

Parent: Isn't she a dear?

Then they cake as much makeup on that little girl's face as I've probably worn in the past year. Then they put her on stage and make her dance around and look like a stupid. Why? I don't know. Maybe they felt badly about themselves when they were young and they don't want that for their daughters. Either way, I think the vast majority of pageant moms need to tone it down a bit.
And PS-Today is my seventy-fifth post! Yay!
