The Greatest Show on Earth


Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus. I love it and so does Quentin! I remember when I was a little kid my Aunt Shirley loaded a bunch of us kids up in the station wagon and took us to see the circus. I figure every kid should see the circus at least once, so I asked Q if he wanted to go. He said no. I felt dejected, but said okay.



Well, a few days went by and the weekend rolled around. I told Q I wanted to go to the Circus. He agreed to go, but wasn't excited about it until I showed him a video of it on the web.



He saw those girls get shot out of the double-barrell cannon and he was all in favor of going to the circus!



He thought the guy that was in the cage with tigers was the "biggest idiot on the face of the Earth"! He was cracking me up. The guy kept hitting the tigers on the butt with his whip and Quentin would say, "Oh yeah, that's really smart! Keep smacking them on the butt. That will calm them down! He's going to die!"




We both had a wonderful time and I'm so glad that I talked him into it.

I remember that time with Aunt Shirley! I always think of that when I think of the circus. Glad Q agreed to go, now he'll have his own memories to look back on.
