    The Things Little Miss Sunshine Taught Us

    Little Miss Sunshine taught us all sorts of things about family, imperfection and, of course, racy beauty pageant dancing. And it taught us so well.

    It takes teamwork to get anywhere.

    And sometimes we need to just let the anger out.

    There's so much pressure to be skinny.

    It's important to have a role model.

    But we should be whoever we want to be.

    And to be fierce.

    No matter how ridiculous something may seem, just go for it.

    And when you're with family, that's all that matters.

    Sometimes a hug is all you need.

    There may be a catalogue image for perfection...

    But beauty isn't skin deep.

    And, yeah, fuck beauty contests.

    As long as you try, you're winner in somebody's eyes.

    Especially in your grandpa's.

    And if you try hard enough, life can be a big, strange party.

    Ultimately, nobody's normal. But sometimes you just gotta pretend.

    Except for when you don't.
