Over breakfast the other morning, I was explaining to the kids why we would be seeing a lot more of daddy around the house. I said there wasn’t any more work for him to do at his old job, so he would be looking for a new job. That seemed perfectly logical to the First Grader:
Him: What kind of a job is daddy going to get?
Me: I don’t know. Maybe something the same as what he had before.
(Earnest thinking from the First Grader)
Him: I know what he should be.
Me: What?
Him: A clown.
Now, why didn’t I think of that?
Maybe Bob and he can start a clown troup!

Nah, they're underpaid. And way too many people are afraid of them. Like me. But, I sort of like the idea of a circus affiliation. I'll join you.

Oddly Monster.com does not have a clown category.

Husband: Yeah, I bet they don't have a category for *Monster* either. Slackers. They should be fired.
Amy: Clowns are definitely scary. And a circus affiliation does have its appeal (mainly in the form of cotton candy). I'd be worried, though, that they'd rope me into doing the trapeze. I loooooove heights and hurtling through the air at frightening speeds.
MidLifeMama: He does know how to juggle!

I agree with First Grader.
