Circus Ambition!

Circus

Dear Mommy,

I want to join the circus!

Love, Mia

 

Dear Mia,

I’m sorry to be the one to say it, but that’s such a cliché.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

No it’s not, I really mean it!

Love, Mia

 

Dear Mia,

That’s an interesting ambition, but I don’t think any circus would be looking for your kind of talent.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

What a mean thing to say! Why are you trying to discourage me?

Love, Mia

 

Dear Mia,

I think it’s wonderful that you can dance by waving your paws in the air, but generally a circus is looking for acrobats and jugglers. Clowns. Trapeze artists.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

I’m an artist. I can jump. I can walk on a railing. I’ve got circus talent.

Love, Mia

 

Dear Mia

I’m sure you do, honey. I’m sorry, I just don’t know what kind of circus would be looking for a cat.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

A cat circus, of course!!!!!

Love, Mia

 

Dear Mia,

A cat circus? I’m sure that doesn’t even exist.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

Yes it does!!!!!!!!!!   There is a real cat circus, The Amazing Acro-Cats.   They’re FAMOUS!!!!!   They do everything! They perform, they play music, they astonish everyone! With just a couple of humans to help out.

Love, Mia

 

Dear Mia,

That’s weirdly awesome. I can’t believe someone actually got a bunch of cats to cooperate in a circus act.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

The cats don’t have to cooperate.  The humans do.

Love, Mia
