Sometimes the circus comes to town, and you just have to watch it. It's loud. It's crazy, and everything is really expensive. People are setting things on fire over here and caged animals are running through hoops over there. Everyone's singing at the tops of their lungs, walking on tight ropes, flipping, and dancing around while you cram animal crackers in your mouth. Over stimulated? That's an understatement. Frazzled? You know it.
But it is mesmerizing. It's so beautiful it takes your breath away. And in a New York minute, it's over. The music, dancing, the childlike exuberance is gone.
And one day our kids will be grown. And we will wish we could sit by the bathtub cramming animal crackers in our mouths one last time.
