I decorated the room in clowns. It was complete with a cross-stitched wall hanging that I did myself. <br />My daughter never said anything until she was almost a teenager - she hated clowns. :)Carlettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11178161514195582965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8652000138331690507.post-18707352020920211712012-04-17T00:19:43.242-04:002012-04-17T00:19:43.242-04:00Such a great guy, just like "Patch Adams"...Such a great guy, just like "Patch Adams".<br /><br />The mural is so neat and well preserved!Ebiehttp://betterthanezrah.org/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8652000138331690507.post-11135830063210900692012-04-16T20:55:02.379-04:002012-04-16T20:55:02.379-04:00This would be a really cool place to visit.

BTW, fear of clowns is called "coulrophobia." I'm not afraid of them but they do creep me out a little. The murals, however, are charming and tell an interesting story.
