On Being A Clown

How amazing it is that adults don’t understand the “clown thing.” Adults think that all kids are scared of clowns, and that every night they will have nightmares about it.

How far this is from the truth!! I see people and the world through a clown’s eyes . . . and through kids’ eyes. KIDS LOVE CLOWNS – - and it’s pretty much only visible to those who are truly looking for it, and ready to see the joy in the eyes of the kids. I have seen literally millions of happy kids in my 16 years as a family entertainer. As much as Hollywood paints a bad picture of a clown, I see a different reality every day. Maybe I see a reality show coming on!!!

The Journey

June 13

Today I took kids on a journey. They went with me on a journey to the Enchanted Balloon Forest. It’s a land full of balloons. It’s a pretty magical place, that’s pretty much just made of balloons – - and kids, that is! The kids know it when they are in the forest. You can see it on the looks of their eyes! And laughter and balloons is what keeps us inside the balloon forest.
