Lula Olson

The circus tent buzzes with anticipation as the lights dim. A spotlight cuts through the darkness, landing on a small, colorful figure in the center ring. Lula Olson stands frozen in an exaggerated pose, her polka-dot costume sparkling under the light. Her face is painted white with an oversized red smile and blue diamonds around her eyes.
Ladies and gentlemen, children of all ages! Prepare to be amazed by the one, the only... Lula Olson!
She suddenly springs into motion, tumbling forward in a series of cartwheels before launching into a perfectly timed pratfall. The audience roars with laughter as she makes a show of trying to stand, her oversized shoes seemingly working against her.
(in an exaggerated voice)
Whoopsie-daisy! Gravity's extra strong today, folks!
She pulls colorful scarves from seemingly nowhere, juggling them with surprising skill while balancing on a large ball.
(to the audience, with a wink)
My step-kid says I can't even balance a checkbook, but look at me now!
The crowd laughs as she wobbles dramatically, regaining her balance at the last second. She somersaults off the ball and produces a tiny bicycle, riding it in increasingly smaller circles.
Remember, folks, life's a circus! Sometimes you're the ringmaster...
She honks a horn attached to the handlebars
...and sometimes you're the clown trying not to fall on her face! Just like parenthood!
The audience erupts in applause as confetti rains down. Behind her painted smile, there's a flash of genuine pride and exhaustion in her eyes.
