Four Reasons Why "Toddlers And Tiaras" Is My Guilty Pleasure
Alchona

"Toddlers and Tiaras." The popular TLC reality show that documents the world of child beauty pageants. I remember, when this show first premiered, I refused to watch it because I thought the idea of parading your child on stage in heavy makeup and skimpy clothing was disgusting.

One day there was absolutely nothing on TV and I saw "Toddlers and Tiaras" was on. I didn't want to do it. I tried not to click the select button on my remote control, but I did.

Worst (best) decision ever!

It was crazy seeing little girls look like mini 20-year-old women. Though I did not agree with what was going on while watching the show, I couldn't bring myself to change the channel. I was laughing, I was cringing and I knew from that moment that this show was going to be one of my favorites.

Here are some reasons why "Toddlers and Tiaras" is my guilty pleasure.

1. The pageant moms (and dads).


Some of the parents do get on my nerves because some do go too far when it comes to pushing their dreams onto their children. However, most of them are just so amusing. It is so obvious most of these kids couldn't care less that they are in a $4,000 dress, but the parents are so invested into it and it makes the show 10 times more entertaining.

Seeing grown adults do their child's routine is the greatest thing ever.

2. The horrifying yet hilarious routines.

The routines these kids do are so cringe-worthy, yet they're so hilarious at the same time. I don't know if I should laugh or be angry that someone actually choreographed the routine. Most of the time, I just end up laughing and shaking my head at the same time.

Side note: Even though no child should be dancing like this, it is still my favorite GIF, LOL.

3. It makes me appreciate the fact I don't have a crazy mom.

Even though some of the moms are quite funny, the majority of them are quite obnoxious. I mean come on, tanning an African American child? Even if she's bi-racial, is it really necessary? So every time I watch this crazy show, I thank god my mom is nowhere near as crazy as the ones shown on the show.

4. The kids are just flat out funny.

At the end of the day, these kids are just kids and they say the darnest things. While the parents, coaches and pageant judges are funny, the kids on the show are what make me keep watching this show on repeat. I honestly can relate to some of these baby beauty queens.

Which is something I never thought I would say.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
