Why must everything be so large?

As any vertically challenged being knows, there are many things in the world that are just too big. Pants, shelving units, amusement park rides, and

furniture.

Why, oh why, must everything be so large? Why is Maurice himself not larger? Why must Maurice be photographed in large things? Are people trying to mock him and his small stature?

As it happens, this particular chair is large even for fairly normal-sized humans like Maurice's creator/caretaker.

It sits outside a restaurant and motel and is a popular photo spot. Maurice had some difficulty getting into the chair, but as you can see from the first photo in this post, he managed it somehow. He climbed up the leg:

and sat down in the chair.

Then he attempted to remove himself from the chair, which was arguably a more difficult task than placing himself in it.

Oops! He fell.

He's fine now, though, so everything is all right.
