Deathly Afraid of Oompa Loompas

Deathly afraid of Oompa Loompas but have no idea why! I'm not afraid of midgets, dwarves or little people at all - but when they put makeup on and sing - YIKES! Honestly, I don't like the lollipop guild in the Wizard of Oz but they don't freak me out like the Oompa Loompas do!

I can't watch the OL's at all - actually I can't even stand to hear the song! My kids will sing that song when they want to make me stop whatever I am doing or when they just want a really good laugh!

I don't know what started it - I don't remember a defining moment, they have just scared me from the first time I saw the movie! I have always wondered if anyone else felt this way - my friends all seem to laugh at me about it!
