I’m beyond stunned that this is still a thing. It’s like the boogeyman that never goes away. My kids still bring up the clowns, so I can’t even imagine the terror this woman’s children must feel.
T-man and Bear have already asked if I think people will wear clown masks on Halloween. What can I say except that there are probably people stupid enough to think it’s funny? At least they’re prepared for the possibility, which is more than I can say for whatever idiot decides to show up in my neighborhood to scare the crap out of our kids.
Mama bear is on the prowl.
“Oh my ever-loving-cookie-dough! What is with the clown pranking everywhere? I know that kids all over the place from all different backgrounds are scared. I get it that it’s not just kids with past trauma who are being affected by this. I suppose we don’t have the market cornered on kids with lots of anxiety. But, Come ON!!!!”
