I'd always daydream about who my parents were.
When I was five, for an entire year,
I pretended my mom was an Appaloosa mare.
And I did.
And that I was... I was a filly, and...
that I was just dreaming that I was a girl.
And that one day I'd wake up, and I'd run home.
And then the circus came to town.
And August was right out front.
And as soon as he looked at me,
I knew I'd never live with strangers again.
So we got married.
