Little People
Imagine walking down the street to your best friends house. As you are walking down the sidewalk, you notice a man and woman walking towards you. As the couple gets closer, you notice that they are laughing at something. You just walk by and put your head down. Next you come to a small tree hovering over the sidewalk, no need to duck. As you come to your friend's house, you reach up to ring the doorbell. Your friend comes to the door and looks through the peephole, but sees no one. You grab the rock that is next to the door and stand on it. You ring the bell once more. This time your friend sees you and lets you in. When you walk by him, he pats you on the head. You walk towards the kitchen while having a conversation, and because your not paying attention you boink your head on the corner of the kitchen table cutting it severely. Your friend tries to hide his snickering, and tells you that there are band-aids in the bathroom; while, your forehead is bleeding profusely. You run to the bathroom to find the band-aids, but when you notice that they are on the top shelf, just out of your reach. Could you imagine living with this problem everyday of your life? I couldn't. I couldn't imagine being a midget.
Verne from Entertainment Weekly where he told the magnazine the point in his career when he almost gave up, "During the year-and-a-half dry spell he hit after 1994's "Baby's Day Out". Doing stunt work has to be fun," he says, "but there aren't too many roles that call for babies who need stunt doubles." He finally landed a role as a panda bear in "The Amazing Panda Adventure." Now like everything in life, there are positive and negatives to being a little person. I would like to discuss these. First, I would like to talk about the negatives. As I said earlier, some people might give dirty looks, or make "little" jokes at ones expense. This could hurt someone's feelings after it has been done to them so many times. Also, I would think it would be tough for little people to get certain jobs. Some businesses that are in sales might not want them selling their product because they might believe that they will scare away customers. I think it would be hard for companies to give little people executive positions because they might think it would be hard for people to respect someone half their size. Another negative would be not being able to use certain stuff in your home. I saw a program on the Learning Channel, where one little person built his own house so that it would be accessible for him. He had the stairs made short for his tiny legs. He also had the light switches and other stuff moved down so that he could use them easier. It would be very expensive to build a house like this, and maybe not every little person could afford it. The last thing that I'll mention will be that I would think it would be tough for little people to go out to eat. Unless the restaurants are prepared and have a type of booster chair, I think it would be hard for them to reach their food. The last couple positives that I want to talk are that they are able to fit in small places, and th
