A husband and wife walk into an adoption agency looking to adopt a child. They’re impeccably dressed, well-spoken, and the social workers are impressed by their polished appearance.
However, when asked about their profession, the couple calmly replies, “We run a circus.”
The social workers’ eyebrows shoot up. A circus? With animals? Constantly on the move? That didn’t sound like the most stable environment for a child.
Their doubts began to creep in about the couple’s suitability as parents.
Undeterred, the couple pulls out photos of their 55-foot motorhome, which is pristine, well-maintained, and even features a large, spotless nursery. The social workers are relieved, but a new question arises about the child’s education.
The husband smiles and assures them, “We’ve arranged for a full-time tutor to cover all the regular subjects, plus French, Mandarin, and computer skills.”
While the social workers are impressed, they still have reservations about a child being raised in a circus. The wife steps in confidently, saying, “Our nanny is a certified expert in pediatric care, child welfare, proper nutrition, and exercise—everything a child could need.”
The social workers, now somewhat reassured, ask, “So, what age range are you looking to adopt?”
Without missing a beat, the husband replies, “It doesn’t matter, as long as they fit in a cannon.”
