Your husband does what?…

Not many girls get to say that their husband is a professional juggler, just a handful I presume. I actually only know of a few myself. It’s not the typical answer people expect when they ask, “So, what does your husband do?” My answer to what my husband does is usually followed by, “Really?” Which I typically respond, “Yes, really, my husband is a professional juggler.” This usually requires a more lengthy answer because the person is not prepared with any of the typical follow up questions, such as “Where does he work?” My explanation is usually something like this: My husband is an entertainer. He has a teammate/business partner, Bill Berry, that he works with and they perform a comedy juggling show. They are Team Rootberry. They perform at colleges, corporate events, USO military tours and on cruise ships. This answer satisfies most of those typical questions they would ask, after which I get to have a very exciting conversation about the different aspects of my husband’s business and how he got into this juggling gig (starting with clown school…shhh don’t tell him I said.)  My husband has traveled extensively and I am hoping that he will be a guest writer on occasion to share with you some of his stories. Team Rootberry also teaches juggling workshops starting out with scarves. This is the most recent juggling workshop onboard a Royal Caribbean ship, which I was fortunate to be along for.
