Marilyn, what a joy to read. I once played a clown - no experience - for my nephew's party. I slipped into the clownsuit and wig. Not wanting the children to recognise me, I never spoke. Rather I used one of those plastic whirring whistles. It was fun, but a lot of work for the hour I performed not knowing anything. My son would not come near me because I was a stranger.
Thanks, Evelyn for sharing this experience. Kids scare so easy it's hard to anticipate. but good for you for going the distance and taking the risk! Bravo!

Lovely images that match the melancholic’s mood. Arrested clown development. Just wait for Duddles to be introduced to her maker’s friends!!
This resonates. Thank you.
