I Hugged A Clown Today

“It just wasn’t a real birthday party in the 80’s unless each kid left with some sort of lingering PTSD. This is me, clearly thrilled with the sticker on my dress that says ‘I hugged a clown today.'”

Clown Clan

“This family photo was from around 1980 and I am on the lower left. When I was a child my mother started clowning and we became a professional clown family. We went to hospitals, parades, birthdays, school carnivals, and even began a clown society that outlasted our participation in it. We actually have an entire exhibit dedicated to us at the Museum or Whimsy in Astoria, OR.”

Why I Hate Clowns

“I’m not sure what’s going on here. I only remember that we went to the photo studio because there was some kind of special.”

Insane Clown

“This was taken in 1996 when the circus came to town. I was 2 years old, and my mom thought It was a happy funny clown, so why not take a happy pic? Now I’m 25 and I suffer from fear of clowns – guess thats why even I can’t actually remember this.”
