i used to think that clowns were one of the nicest people on the earth. I considered them as like another race. When i was observing a clown painting a kids faces, I heard it say s**t. I was so devested because clowns were the only nice people i knew, and i thought a clown would never say something like that. I then became cynical for a while. then i relised that clown were people in make-up and costume, so i thought they should be ashamed of being something, that they are not.
