Reasons why my children might be happier if I sold them to the circus

Reasons why my children might be happier if I sold them to the circus:

• They could care for exotic animals, and actually touch them
• There would be tight ropes from which to dangle
• All the popcorn and cotton candy they could eat
• They could learn to swing on a trapeze
• They could laugh at the slapstick clowns
• They could ride in a train for transportation instead of a minivan

• A 'clown car' could be more than just a metaphor their mother uses to describe their life
• They could sleep in a tent
• No one would make them clean up their bedroom
• They could scream as loudly as they like, without a mom to say, "Please, honey, I have a terrible headache."
• They wouldn't have to wait for a prayer to eat
• And best of all, tutus could be everyday wear
