It's hard to say no to children
Today I was spinning in the park on Main street in my town for about two hours. Since the only people in my town are people who I have spun for alot of people would watch or at least look while I they drove past. Anyways after about an hour and a half a group of children ages 5-11 came out from their afterschool program to play outside since it was so nice out today. Once they saw me of course they were all interested and wanted to watch so I spun a little show for about 10 minutes and they loved it. I was answering questions and stuff and fake hitting myself in the face to make them laugh. Anyways one kid askied if he could get my autograph and then all the kids started getting all excited and asked for my autograph and I couldn't get out of it. I tried to say no but I had no clue how to tell a bunch of kids this when they were so excited so I wrote my name on little peices of paper for all of them. It was really embarassing especially cause one of the girls who runs the program went to school with me, I felt like such a big dork. It was well worth the blushing though cause it really made their day. I even promised them I would come back sometime next week and do more tricks for them. I guess I should add performing kids is alot different then for more mature people. I kept talking to them and doing silly stuff like doing one-handed butterflys and yawning or catching it in a stall and then pertending it wouldn't spin even though I was trying to get it too. Pretty much acting clown like really got them into it. ![]()

playing for kids is a superb way to learn clowning (and many other performance techniques besides).
if they are enjoying it enought to want your autograph, you must be doing something right.
any chance you could send me an autographed headhsot for my neighbour's kid...?

Come come we don't want to scare the children now do we?
I guess I would make a good clown now that I think about. I like to make people laugh, don't mind if I make an ass out of myself, and have silly hair. NOw all I need is a big red nose and a balloon animal or two and I'm set.

On a related note does anyone else find that adults (other than other spinners) always pretend they're not looking if you catch their eye when spinning? I think some children do it as well but they have the tendency to try and hide behind inappropriate objects like lamposts or parents legs when they want to look again! Hehe
