I hate clowns. There’s nothing around it that absolutely creeps me out more.
When I was younger, in one of my mom’s not-so-smart parenting moves, I watched It. I think I honestly was five or six. While yes, they kept covering my eyes, we all know that doesn’t really do any good. Shortly after (I’m thinking like a few weeks), my Grandma won tickets to the circus. Well, our tickets were “ring-side” down on the floor.
I was in awe of the many circus performers and animals but throughout the entire circus, I remember watching those clowns like a hawk. One I did not watch close enough it seemed as he soon was behind my Grandpa and I. Before I knew it, my Grandpa’s hat was off his head, in the clowns hands as I turned to see that sheepish colored grin. Yup, I freaked out.
Many have enjoyed my fear/hate of clowns since then. It’s an easy and quick way to tease when a clown shows up on TV or we are at a kid’s event and a clown is nearby. “No girls, Mommy doesn’t like clowns, she’ll freak out” Har har. Funny funny. ay
Yesterday, the husband thought he was pretty funny and proud of himself. As I was about to run out the door to make it to an appointment in time (I am moving slow with these incisions), he began grinning, “I know what my next tattoo will be…A CLOWN!” Of course, he got the stink eye. “No way, nu uh, not happening dude.” He just couldn’t stop laughing.
I think that might be grounds for irreconcilable differences.
Do you have an odd fear?

Oh that Pennywise, has haunted many kids through the years. I have an odd fear that a snake will be in the bathroom while I’m indisposed and I’ll be trapped with it, though we’ve never had a snake in the house so don’t know where it comes from. I also have a fear of ceiling fans, yes you read right.
I don’t know if it is weird, but I have a real fear of the dark.
“We all float down here…” ah yes not a huge fan of clowns here either…or sharks…or aliens…Now I really wish my parents had cared what i watched on tv as a child…..
