I agree completely. I hate it when utterly unoriginal, banal people say “Clowns are scary and creepy!!” when really what they’re trying to say is “I’m actually not an unoriginal, banal person” even though they just uncritically repeated what everyone else says. I have a very sweet picture of my then-4-year-old son and his neighborhood friend at the circus, delighted by a clown who was entertaining them.
