Oh I love clowns 🙂
Well, I’m one big goof- so seems like a fit 😉
Goof’s make the world a better place 🙂
Well, I do try!
I always get told I’m a trying person 🙂
Haha!
I take it as a compliment 🙂
You should 😉
I do, I’m weird that way 🙂
Lol!
Reminds me of one of our politicians. She was in the opposition for so long, that after becoming the Chief Minister she would often answer questions by journalists with the line “Don’t ask me, ask the government”.
Haha! Exactly 😉
