– Mommy, I want to work in the circus.

– Really? What would you like to do? Would you like to be a dog trainer?

– No.

– A clown?

– No.

– The girl with pink feathers riding the elephant?

– No

– Don’t tell me you’ll be with the tigers!

– No.

– OK, I give up.

– (Staring at the metallic structure holding the trapeze): I want to be the person that ties those ropes.

– Why?

– Well, because if nobody ties those ropes, then there can’t be a trapeze!
