Clowns

My mommy says that clowns are nice. She says that they make people smile. But I don’t like them. One gave me a lollipop once, but I didn’t eat it, cause it had clown germs on it. I learned about germs in my kindergarten class. My teacher is nice. She let us make hand prints on the wall with paint. Mommy wouldn’t let me do that at home, though.

Once, my daddy wanted me to be a clown for Halloween. He said, honey, you’ll be so cute! But I’d be scary. Ghost-scary is okay for Halloween. But not clowns. The big polka dots look like pits of doom. I learned about pits of doom from my babysitter. She’s in big girl school, and she watches people without enough clothes on the TV. But I told mommy about that, and she said oh dear. And I got a new babysitter.

Clowns are too big. Maybe they should be shorter. My teacher said the difference between people and animals is that people have two legs, but she must be wrong cause clowns aren’t people. People’s noses are triangle. And clowns noses are red.

I don’t like clowns.

    As a child, I was always wary around clowns, and you know what they say how children have this built-in sixth sense… so our innate fear of clowns must be for something! And it existed even before Stephen King’s It.
    I liked the narration in this piece, it does a good job of portraying both the wisdom and innocence of children.

    Good one. I’m not a big fan of clowns either. Anyway, thanx again for commenting on my stories. I’ve actually never been in a hurricane before. I’ve been in a tornado though. The table and chairs on my deck blew over. lol, thanx again.

    Great story and I like the fact that it is coming from a child’s point of view. The narration and observations remind me of some children that I know. Children worry about some things that we would never imagine being worth worrying about. Very interesting! Good job!

    I whole heatedly agree. I thought I’d got over my mistrust of Clowns but recently played a computer game where I got attacked by a chainsaw wielding clown called Adam. I hated it.
