Salway Family Members will appreciate this post

A few years ago, Eric's Grandma (Grandma Roberts) gave Shelley (Eric's sister) a clown doll that she had found while cleaning out some things. Her kids were terrified of it, so they tried to give it to us. We had seen "IT" a few too many times to feel comfortable having this clown in our home. Soon it became the family joke to hide the clown in each other's houses.

Once someone hid it in Mike and Emily's car before they headed back to Fresno after a holiday. Mike and Emily hid it in Mom and Dad's shower, and disturbingly the clown wasn't found for weeks. :) The best ever was when Mom and Dad were getting ready for a long vacation to China. The clown was still in our garage from the last prank. Paul drove all the way to our house just to get the clown. When he was helping Mom and Dad with their luggage at the airport he snuck it in one of their suitcases. They didn't find the clown until they got to China! Of course Judy wasn't going to leave that clown in China, so they lugged that ugly thing all through their trip. They are good sports.

The clown was hung from a noose in Shelley in Paul's bedroom. That was when the clown got angry and somehow sprouted "angry eyes" and wrote a warning email to all of us--"DON'T MESS WITH THE CLOWN!"


We have the clown now. He's not gathering dust or hiding under something so we don't have to look at it.

No, he's being fed fruity flavored marshmallows.

And being carried around like a baby.

Hayden even took him to his Pre-School for Show and Tell. They were talking about clowns that day and he told the whole story of how the clown came to be...and he's even been to China!

Yes, the clown is being loved. Maya gets so excited when she sees the clown! It's like a cute little toy to her. (Of course she hasn't seen "IT" yet...but she should because I'm a little disturbed.) But, the clown does look a little happier. Don't you think?

What We've Been up to in February!

Going Private!
