Because they really are like adorable hilarious aliens.
Observe:
I encounter a tiny person in an hallway. His hand shoots up into the air.
ME: Yes?
TINY PERSON: Um, excuse me!
ME: Yes?
TINY PERSON: Um... well, I have my badminton racket, but I don't have anything to put it in.
ME: ...
...
...
For recess?
TINY PERSON [directs me to backpack with conspicuous badminton racket handle sticking out of it]: I brought my badminton racket to school so I could play with it with my friends but I don't have anything to carry it in.
ME: Could you just carry it out in your hand?
TINY PERSON: Okay.
And he runs off to recess holding the racket straight out in front of him in two hands.
