The Holiday Weekend Fun Continues!
I’ve only been to the circus once, when I was five or six. We got free tickets because my dad was a doctor, and every now and then a trapeze artist misses, or a lion bites someone, so they pay local doctors’ admission, apparently, just in case. My dad did go to medical school, but he is a psychiatrist, so I think they must have been particularly concerned about the clowns.
As was I, at the time.

You’ve really got it, Almostgotit. A very funny post.

Oof! Don’t even start with the clowns. Here’s to psychiatrists’ daughters cringing at the mention of gigundous shoes, rainbow wigs, and way too much Red Bull.

I found this very therapeutic, actually. I think I have finally faced my Clown Anxiety. Thank you very much for your affirmations, MB#1 and MB#2: you have given me the strength to go on.
