Transcript:
Alice: In school today, Kevin let the scary clown out of the Jack-in-the-box. It shot up and disappeared into the ceiling. So we hid under the table and Miss Bliss read to us. It was great! But we made bucket head Kevin hide under a different table because he let the stupid clown out. Mom: Alice.

Miss Bliss is a good sport. I guess she’ll need to get bumbling Timmy Fretwork in to find the clown in the ceiling. Hurray!

Clowns is scary - I’m surprised Miss Bliss was able to coax them all out of from under the table at the end of the day!

Marge- you usually have so much fun changing your avatar tp fit the times. I have not tried it because when I first registered -mine did not appear and I had to contact the site, so I’m happy to keep this recent photo from an SCA event.

I think Miss Bliss was thinking “Why didn’t I think of this before?” - look how relaxed she is in her rocking chair while the kids are all occupied. And terrified.
