Sounds a good time whether he was actually trying to be a good clown or was in the neighborhood and collecting a check.
Dude seems to have eaten it at the bowling alley, so that’s worth a check for clown work imo.
Are you sure that was a clown that was hired and not some guy out in the parking lot of Party City who was hailed down and put in an Uber and made his world debut as Homeless Hank the messy clown?
I find myself using the sentiment you identified as a role model for how to approach parenting - “I’m so mad right now, etc.” - in my daily life extremely often.
Completely irresponsible. Ordered half dozen clowns for the party. They show up in a Smart car. Obviously not seatbelted in. Somehow all fit in there, no idea, but completely unsafe. Kids could get the impression it’s good to drive that way.
I'm really hoping that the $20 was just the extra charge for balloons, because there's no way she was expecting to hire a children's entertainer for minimum wage.
