FACT: I am guilty of making my husband take me to the circus once WITHOUT the children… and he “happily” obliged - (however, there was a rolling of the eyes!)
Wholeheartedly, I WILL admit it: I HEART the CIRCUS!
Fortunately, the circus comes to town around the first weekend or so of February every year! And GUESS who has a birthday around SAID 1st weekend of February?... Nope, its not me!
However, one little guy named Mack DOES!!!
Lucky for our family, my Mother-In-Law, Joanne, ALSO enjoys the circus (YET, another reason to LOVE the woman!!). Last year she treated the whole family to the circus for Mack’s birthday! And guess who is coming to town and taking us again today????? Yep, my very generous M-I-L, JOANNE – affectionately known as “Granny” by M&M... and at times have also been known to call her "JoJo Circus"! -- (which I think is hilarious!)
Now, let me clarify, I’m NOT(!) a fan of clowns – (Stephen King’s “It” did me in on those "happy" characters long ago!). But what I DO love about the circus is the talent and athleticism of the acrobats, the awesome animals (back off PETA!), the joy on the childrens’ faces, and ULTIMATELY, the $25 cotton candy and the $30 snowcones!! (Generally, we have to get one of each and share b/c they are so(!) stinkin' expensive!)
FACT: John and I had cotton candy AND snow cones at our wedding reception!! (guess who insisted on that little "bonus" treat?? ... I'll give you some time to think about it!)
I’m so glad that Mack has a bday JUST in the 'NICK OF TIME' for the ole’ CIRCUS! But let me just say that even if his bday wasn't around this time of year and I had to go all by myself, I would!! (without giving it even a second thought!)
FACT: I’m just a big kid stuck in an adult persons body!
Fo’ real people… I can’t tell you how excited I am about heading to the circus this afternoon for the Lions, and tigers, and Bears ...and did I mention COTTON CANDY AND SNOWCONES???
OH MY! :-)
