Seeing a Circus Performance


Paula: Ta-da! We’re here. This is your big surprise. 


Roman: We’re going to the circus? 


Paula: You got it in one! It’s going to be great. There’ll be clowns and acrobats 1, trapeze artists and lion tamers. 


Roman: I haven’t been to the circus since I was a kid. 


Paula: That’s the point. I thought this would be a nostalgic experience for both of us, and let us feel like kids again. 


Roman: I’m not sure... 


Paula: Come on! We’ll miss the first act. I think there’ll be jugglers, magicians, and tightrope 2 walkers, too. 


Roman: Great. 


Paula: Listen! I can hear the ringmaster from here. Let’s go! 


Roman: When you said that you had a surprise for me that would make me feel young again, this wasn’t exactly what I envisioned. 


Paula: I know. It’s even better, right? 


Roman: If you say so.
