Fat People

We are not a particularly skinny household. We're not obese but we sure ain't skinny.

We have a sticker on the door that says "Fat people are harder to kidnap."

Anyway, we're watching TV tonight (Criminal Minds in case you were curious) and they boy says "Why aren't there more fat people on TV? Half of the population of the United States is fat. There needs to be more fat people on TV."

So then we started rhyming off "fat" actors: John Candy, John Goodman, John Belushi, Jim Belushi, Roseanne, "Edgar" on "24", Jackie Gleason... and then the boy says "But they're all comedians or play computer geeks!" And he's right. Fat people are allowed to be smart or funny. That's pretty much it.

I, of course, am both *grin*.
