There are several people that I grew up with that are a little skeptical that I do what I do….others aren’t surprised at all.
I didn’t ask for it..and in the beginning I wanted nothing to do with it. It was a direct calling…I would even say it was a divine intervention…. and if you ever go with me you would see how God uses people who don’t have a lot of talent(like this clown)…in amazing ways.
During the school months, I like to clown at about three different places each month. I have different characters and games already planned out before I go. One of the places I go to, I have some friends that go with me and if I’m lucky enough I am an important clown and get to be chauffeured!
When I get up it usually just takes me about 45 minutes for the transformation. I usually like happy conversation, no yelling…..and my favorite part every time is when I get to put on my red or pink nose…every single time…
When I walk into a room I’m always nervous….even after all this time, when those faces start smiling at me….it’s all worth it right there.
I love the rolling of the eyes of some kiddos until I’m able to show them my pet cat aka “skunk” named Stinky😁. Or do some other fun games and then I can win them over.
I’ve had ladies and men, children and teens tell me things that they would never tell anyone else….because it’s like I’m not real…I’m a fictional character…I look ridiculous,..and they are no longer intimidated. Wheelchairs no longer matter, or bald heads….deformed arms, or eyes that can’t see…..all that matters…is my red nose.,,and a magical world that I can take them to for a brief moment…and they can forget …about all their pain…and I’m more than happy to do that and suffer a little discomfort any day of the week….clowning is my release…it’s what gives me strength…it’s what keeps the dark clouds away….
So if you see me in clown….smile or laugh at me….pet my pet cat stinky…and help me name my elephants….aka as mice🙄 and wait until you try my slinky!!!🤡🤡🤡
