The Smallest Woman in the World

So...thinking that it was good idea, I took my annual spin around the Topsfield Fair. A couple of my sister's friends were there as well. We walked around for a while, enjoy the sites, looking at the games, avoiding creepy people, drooling over the food, until one of her friends goes..."dude...we should totally go look at the smallest woman in the world. It is only 50 cents!" Becoming very curious and realizing that this is probably going to be so dumb it will be funny, I decided to run over and check it out. It turned out the adults were $1.00 but still to be entertained for a couple minutes, a $1.00 was totally worth it. We all had our predictions. My sister thought it might be a picture, I was picturing a hologram of some sort, while others were picturing something just ridiculous. We all gave the man our money an ran to the back of the tiny house that was set up for "the little woman" to sit in. We were all laughing and talking and running to the back of the house. Then...we all stopped!

There in this tiny house was a little black woman, REAL mind you, just sitting there watching T.V. She had a little chair set up and some photos on the wall. We all felt like complete asses!

She started to tell us that she is from Africa and that she has children and that they are all normal sized. I honestly was not listening because I could not have felt like more of an asshole. I mean really, who would have guessed that they had a real person behind this house. Needless to say, I mumbled thank you to her....some of us threw some money into the pan she had on the ground and we left.

I don't think anyone spoke for a good 2 minutes. Almost at the same time we all said how bad we felt and I think a few almost shed a tear....I honestly could not stop laughing. Not at this woman, but at the completely awkward situation that we just put ourselves in. I mean, really...think about it..it is FUNNY. Anyway, we all convinced ourselves that she put herself in this situation and chooses to do so, so it is in no way our fault what-so-ever. Anyway....we continued on our journey throughout the fair...I think we stayed clear from any genetic anomalies for the remainder of the evening.
