Hiya myLotters and friends!
I remember about a year or two ago, Zay attended a birthday party. I wasn't there but I was told that he enjoyed the party. Only one thing that made him sit still beside his mom, a clown as he was afraid of its mask. 
Today, Zay was doing his homework about pictures of the family. It's about matching the picture of the family members with their names, as in the father, the mother, the sister, and so on. So there's one name that is something odd. I mean, it's not a member of the family, but a clown.
So when wifey asked, "and who is this clown?" Zay replied, "that's me, the clown"
His mom asked again, "then why did you say, it's Zay that is the clown?"
Zay answered back, "because I make you all happy." 
This little menace makes us lose our sanity at times with his mischievousness.
But still makes us happy at times despite all the problems we are facing right now. 
So who's the clown of your life that always make you happy? Care to share his/her story?

Hi neil!
That's really funny of your son. I thought he was going to be afraid of clowns forever from what you've said at the start. I didn't also imagine that he would see himself as a clown because you said he was afraid of it.
Anyway, there isn't really a clown in our family. I mean, if you say clown, someone with that can tell really good jokes or someone that can really deliver funny antics. Most people in our family are a little bit serious in life. But to speak of someone who really makes us smile, it would be my sister's children, Sophie and Xyron, 3 and 6 years old, respectively. They do and say amusing things once in a while. Especially Sophie. Maybe you've read my discussion about our spelling time.

Well then, it's good that your son is not afraid of clowns anymore. I would never like clowns, they just look so creepy with all their make-up on.
Yup, you can post about your children, a lot of parents out there will be able to relate.

oh yes, i thought it will be forever. it was even followed by another birthday party the following year, actually the same person. but the clowns were not exactly the same and yes, he was still afraid of them at first but later in the party, he was already smiling with their comedy during the show/party.
oh yes, i remember sophie. she was the one who do not want to spell CAT. actually, it was really a coincidence that i started this discussion. i was about to start this one when i came to read about sophie first and yes, i told myself, i should be posting about my zay.

Hello Neil.
You have a wonderful child!
For me I think that I am the clown of the family because whenever i see that the thing are getting red I begin to make jokes in order my family don't enter in arguments.
I always have a funny story or a joke for them or make faces, lol.
I like to keep my family happy and love to make fun of the daily routine.@neildc (17239)

well actually, i am number one in the family with regards to sense of humor.
i have lots of jokes. and i guess, not only zay, got their antics from their dad.
yeah, it's good that there are at least one who can always break the ice when things get rough.
thanks.

My 7 yr.old son is the clown of my life. Whenever i'm sad or upset about something, he comes to me and asks if i'm ok. And, before i could even reply, he would start hugging and kissing me while showing me his big smile and saying mommy it's ok. Then, i would start to feel better and happy. He is indeed a treasure to me, my life and happiness. It's never boring to talk and laugh with him. Every word that comes out of his mouth is amusing and entertaining. He never ceases to amaze me, that's why I love him so so very much.

My daughter is pretty goofy WHEN she is on the right medication. Sometimes it is too much and makes her lathargic so she is very fun loving. But on the right meds she is silly and fun. She has three cats and likes to be silly with them at times. And with her son who is going to be nine soon. He gets alittle put out with her sometimes.

Hiya neil,
My youngest Son and Husband can be the funniest they come out with the funniest remarks when you least expect it.
I can smile at least once a Day well and laugh too at what they say.
Just comes naturally to them I suppose they laugh with me as well although I don´t know when I am saying funny things.
Most little Children make me laugh with their ideas and remarks in general as well.

Your son is so cute. My son is the clown in my life and my friend Steve. Both of them can really make me so happy no matter what mood i'm into. My son got his sense of humor from me and he's really funny with his jokes sometimes. He would even make fun of his dad and that would sometimes surprise us! Sad to say my husband doesn't have that sense of humor but i make him laugh.

Nah, he's not a kill joy. It's just that i got a better sense of humor than him, he doesn't have the chance to show it off in the family. He just laughs with us but couldn't think of something witty all the time like me.

Hi, neildc. Lol! Zay is a so silly.
My favorite clown that made me laugh is my cousin, T.C. He passed away in January of this year, I miss him so much! He knew how to make me smile when I was feeling bad. Everything that came out of his mouth was so silly!
Just thinking about him makes me very sad. But, when I think about him a little longer, my sadness becomes more of happiness then.

My daughter always makes me smile although I would not call her a clown exactly despite the fact that she has a great sense of humour for a nine year old! The little clown that makes all laugh and want to murder him at the same time is one of our cats, Hewy. He is so cheeky, he’s been living with us for two years and so many things have been broken thanks to him. He does hilarious things and his little face looks like that one of a cheeky little devil!

hello neil,
I wish to have a McDonald's character in our house right now to make me laugh
His big shoes- that looks bigger than him is enough to make me laugh (ahaha)
Uhmn, lemme think of someone who I consider as clown in my life (thinking)
Oh yeah- I know someone and just found him somewhere (and never ask me who- hehehe)
I am the clown in our family.
Whenever we held an event,family reunion, they always ask me to be the host,emcee and clown at the same time eh
have a good day dear brother and I missed that little bully 
sis,

hi sis. why not bring home ronald from mcdonald's MOA?
it's hard to be a clown but if you will career this type of job, you really get the people laugh at you jokes. but how would you pamper yourself? of course, there should be someone, come on, share it with, who's that clown in your life?

maybe he's old enough to be a clown or his antics are too "gasgas" already.

Lol! Kids can be such clowns sometimes, their childish ways just makes our day much brighter. I have a little cousin whose around 7 and she's a total clown. She's not afraid to speak out the truth, even if it's really embarrassing. She's very blunt and she'll tell you what's on her mind.
In my group of friends, we all love a joke and laugh. I have a comedian who never stops the jokes. She pretty much makes our group happy! =)
We all need funny people in our lives.
