Children are EVIL.  EEEEEEVVVVVVIIIIIILLL!!  And so are clowns.  Do you have ANY IDEA what it is like for a bird in a cage at the pet store to have some brat RUN up to your cage and start SCREAMING at you:
"TALK YOU STUPID BIRD!!  I SAID TALK!!!  This bird SUCKS, it won't talk!"
Then proceed to POUND ON THE CAGE?  :blink:   
 I'm sorry pho, but that's the funniest thing I've heard today. I couldn't stop laughing, and now I feel like a jerk. *shakes her head* hehe.
I do agree that clowns are evil. I hated them ever since "It" *shudder*
Pho, it could be worse, it could be an adult doing that. At least children somewhat have their 'innocence.' All they need it a good thwapping in the head. *evil grin*
