Living a circus

Carter’s new career ideas for our family business

Carter and I were watching Mr. Rogers visit the circus. They introduced the acrobat family and I asked Carter what he thought about it:

Mom: Carter, do you think we should be an acrobat family? Fly through the air on big swings like that?

Carter:(with great enthusiasm) Yes!

Mom: Do you think Daddy could do it? Catch us in midair like that?

Carter: Yes.

Mom: Do you think I could do it?

Carter: (thoughtful for a moment) Maybe we should be a funny clown family.
