You aren't the only one with a fear of clowns....... beegus June 12 2006, 21:29:45 UTC

While I'm not a clown person my sister is deathly afraid of them. She works at a nursing home and every year they have this group of clowns come and visit the residents. They have to warn my sister beforehand so she can schedule those few hours off. She gets off work right before they show up and comes back when they leave. She has to work over on that day but considering her fear, the place is lucky she even goes back in at all.

Oh that's right. Scott was telling me about that this weekend. This is the first time I've been around one of the damn things in a long time. I was freaked out all weekend, constantly watching and peeping around corners to make sure she wasn't there before I went anywhere. Then I had that meltdown Sunday. UGH...It was a really stressful weekend for me. Thank God it's over.
