[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 351829, member: 831"] Do I understand it? No. However, I am fascinated by it. So, I have to admit, I watch it. That does NOT mean, that I approve of it or think it is a good thing. I also noticed that different regions of the country have different ways of doing things and awarding crowns. What is most puzzling is how in the south the parents don't want to win their division because that means they're "pulled out" for a "higher" crown. Then, you see the poor little thing crying because they don't understand why didn't win anything and the Mom is trying to explain that it's GOOD she didn't win anything because now she's going to get a "supreme" title. Of course, in the end, it's ALL meaningless. I also HATE that they sometimes give away animals as prizes. I also get a chuckle out of the Moms in the audience doing the gestures and facial expressions along with their kids. Then there's term "total package" as in "she's the 'total package' ". Everyone wants their kid to be the "total package" in those pageants. I agree with instead of spending the money on those outrageously priced dresses, costumes, and "flippers" (fake teeth), they should be putting that money in a college fund. Reminds me of parents that spend tens of thousands of dollars on sports related things (lessons, equipment, coaching) so that their kid can get a scholarship for college. [/QUOTE]
