All the documentaries on TLC and the Discovery Channel, about people who either have the misfortune of having some sort of crazy disease/disorder or who have overcome some sort of insurmountable difficulty. I LOVE those shows. The freakier the better.
I remember when Mr. Mock and I watched the one about the Hensel twins – those girls who share a body? You know them, right?
Anyway, I remember when they first came on the screen, and they were riding a bike, and it completely freaked me out to the point where I had to tell Mr. Mock to just put the show on pause so I could compose myself. It was just so jarring to see what looked like a two-headed girl on a bike. Crazy.
So the other night, we watched a show on primordial dwarves – the kind of dwarves that are just impossibly tiny. And mostly they featured children (although they did talk to one dwarf who was 43 and had the two biggest front teeth I have ever seen in my whole life). And one of the kids was a 16 year old girl who was 16 pounds and not even 2 1/2 feet tall. SO INSANE. And invariably, after I watch these shows, I always have this heightened interest (albeit temporary) in whatever disorder has affected these people. So I did a youtube search on primordial dwarves. And you know what I found?
This. A video of a two-foot PREGNANT woman, whose boyfriend is well over 6 feet tall. And she doesn’t appear to have legs – just feet that sort of come out of her torso-ular area. The visual of this woman becoming impregnated is HAUNTING me, you guys. I can’t stop thinking about it. Sooooo many questions.
Enjoy.
That’s what I refer to as a nugget ****. Ummm, Merry Christmas everyone!
Discovery Health actually had a whole progam about that girl who is only 2 feet tall and had a baby.
I just searched…its on Discovery Health on January 11th again. Its called: My Shocking Story, World’s Smallest Mom
Mock….that is why I keep coming back to this site! LOVE the Hensel twins, and can’t stop watching the world’s smallest mom! Thank you Mock!
I’m guessing she was on top?!
I love TLC on Sunday nights. The world’s heaviest man, the world’s tallest man, Tree Man, primordial twins, gotta have my TLC!
TLC, Discovery Channel, and National Geographic Channel have me glued. Mock, you really ought to watch the special about the world’s smallest mom; I admire her tenacity, but there are soecific points where I have to ask, “Would you like some cheese with that, dear?”
me too
only im younger by alot of you by like 20 years
I fail to see why mentioning your youth is relevant to this discussion.
You mentioned your vision of the little one becoming pregnant but how awkward is it going to be for the twins. Isn’t there just one body being shared with the two? There has to be a lot of questions there.
I love the conjoined-twin-surgical-separation shows, but mr. rosie refuses to watch. Since he always lets me have the remote and watches whatever I choose 99.9% of the time I’m trying to respect his (patently ridiculous) feelings. Maybe I’ll start TiVo-ing for when he’s not around. I miss me some conjoined twins!
