Yesterday, we went to the Verizon Center to see the Ringling Bros. Barnum and Bailey circus. It was great fun, especially remembering all my trips to the circus when I was younger. It's a little different these days. After the circus we had a quick dinner at the Spy Museum Cafe, then headed home on the Metro. Em was cracking us up the whole time - especially when she "read" the sign about what NOT to do on the metro. It all started when she began to mimic the "Doors are closing" announcement and noticed the sign saying "No Bike in Center Doors." She announced to us that she saw someone with a bike on the metro, so we explained it was OK, just not in the middle door. This sign then caught her eye, and she proceeded to tell us:
"And don't stand holding the doors open, don't 100 people try to get on at the same time and don't lean on the sides while reading a book."
We were in hysterics at this point, partly due to our exhaustion. When the train came out of the underground and we saw the jet streams in the sunset, she excitedly yelled, "Shooting stars!!" By this time, she had everyone laughing. I think we might have a future circus clown on our hands!
