This week NBC Bay Area reported that a clown tried to grab a baby at a Concord bus stop. Evil clown sighting have been reported throughout the country. Yet when I was growing up it wasn’t strange to have clowns at birthday parties. I remember enjoying walloping a Bozo the Clown punching bag every now and then and looked forward to circus visits with clowns galore.
Now it seems like everyone is afraid of clowns. Are you afraid of clowns?
