It's a bit rough to have spent a week telling your little guy he's GOING TO THE CIRCUS, only to get a call from the Circus the night before telling you that a performer has been injured and the show is NOT going on.

On the other hand, it's a whole extra week of pointedly asking "Do you want to go to the circus...?" every time that evil whingey tone makes an appearance.
