For those of you wondering what actually goes on in Clown School, this might be your lucky day. As you know, the first rule of Clown School is YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT CLOWN SCHOOL. So no talking! Just sit still and read quietly to yourself.

Keith and I were exceedingly colorful professors today. Our youngest grandchildren graduated from our Clown School. They mastered getting their hair inside their wig, learned how to choose the perfect red nose, how to make balloon sculptures, the best method for filling a gum ball machine, the proper use of noisemakers and clown whistles, and, of course, the charm of rubber chickens. Our stomachs still hurt from laughing.

So there you have it, a cursory glimpse at the final exam day of Clown School. Don’t tell or we’ll stomp on you with our over-sized shoes.
