Let the Show Begin

Aren't children wonderful? They come into the world as helpless, dependent beings, lull us into a false sense of security and then take over our lives. They do this with the smiles and the gurgles and the little giggles and before we know it it's too late. The circus begins and we jump through hoops, building up stamina so we can tap dance around them later. A pout, a tear, a deaf ear---anything can start the show. Sometimes we forget that children are supposed to be the "direcTEES" not the "direcTORS".
