The circus

Here's a conversation from the other night:

Aidan: I don't want to go to college

Me: Why not?

Aidan: Because I just don't want to go. I am going to join the circus and be a trapeze guy.

Me: Aidan, even if you join the circus, I'd really like you to still go to college.

Aidan: But Mama, it's going to cost like a MILLION dollars...

Me: Don't worry, we're already saving.

Aidan: Oh.
