There are a lot of people at my school who claim to be scared by clowns, but some of us hav our doubts. I think, and my friend agrees with me on this, that most and possibly even all of them aren't actually afraid of clowns but are just saying that because everyone else does or they want to look odd or they want to justify having the bumper sticker that says "Can't Sleep. Clowns Will Eat Me." If I hear someone say that one more time or if someone says that he's afraid of clowns (actually, I suppose instead of the generic "he" I should have put "she" since almost every single one I've met has been a girl) I shall surely die.
