I took my son to the Circus last night. He is 5 years old and has wanted to go ever since he saw the commercial on t.v. We've read him bedtime stories with all the tales of clowns, lion tamers, the human cannonballs, and the high wire balancing acts. I always make up stories about the clowns taking over the circus tent, and killing everyone, last night he peed himself. I'm getting better at telling them. Anyways, so he asked to go to the circus which was making a stop in town, so we decided to take him and let him have a little fun.
We arrive at the circus at about, 5:45, there was a meet and greet with the clowns, and the chance to see the animals, and actors. I kept trying to get my son to let the clowns hold him. He kept yelling no they will kill me! I just smiled at the other parents and said what an imagination my son has!
So we walked around, I bought my son a clown t-shirt and kept trying to put it on him, he screamed and screamed, I told the parents around me that he just couldn't wait for the show to start. So after finding our seats, the lights went down, and the crowd, of 37 people went nuts. The crowd consisted of mainly parents and their kids, and the occasional adult waving banners and screaming like they had never grown up. I usually kicked people like that, but I was having to much fun telling the clowns to come use my son as a volunteer.
They called for volunteers, and I picked up my son, ran down the aisle, and threw him over the fence. Everyone cheered for him as he tried his hardest to jump back over the fence, but he was just too short, I stood right in front of him saying come on son, jump! Jump to daddy, and I would hold my hands just out of his reach. I laughed as the clowns came over and picked him up, one by the legs, the other by the arms. He was Screaming his head off saying HELP ME DADDY! I looked around saying, that's my boy!
The Ring leader came to the center of the ring, announcing the first act. There was to be a High Wire Balancing Act, where the balancers would drop Prizes, and they were attached to parachutes. While he would be gathering them, the clowns would be running around trying to grab them too.
My son didn't get one prize.
They had started out with only 2 clowns, but soon the floor was flooded with clowns, all laughing and shooting water out of their flower ties, and my son ran around, trying in vain to get out of the ring. People shouted and laughed and pointed at the crazy kid. I laughed with them, what a retard. Then I would yell, watch out, that one will kill you.
Then the act was over, and my son came out of the ring, he was crying hysterically, he had pissed his pants, and could hardly speak. I said, suck it up son. The fun has just begun.
I bought a how to do your own clown make-up video on the way out` and still occasionally wake my son up with, a big smile.
I am an asshole.
