No fleas?

The adults had us fooled when we were kids. Yes they did. And I’m not talking about the Easter bunny or Santa Claus or the booger man. I’m talking about the flea circus. I think I was probably 16 or 17 years old before I figured out that there weren’t actually any fleas in a flea circus. It was all just a trick, brought upon us by adults and Tom & Jerry cartoons.
