Happy Birthday P.T. Barnum (July 5)
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.
