This weekend of observation we attended a child's Halloween birthday party. Jayden was dressed up as a monkey. Another child was dressed as a scary looking clown approached my brother and Jayden right away could not stop crying and screaming. Jayden then ran quickly to me asking me to carry him because he didn't want to be near him anymore and was holding me tight. I've never seen him so frightened before. My brother is terrified of clowns it seemed like any other costume was not that scary to him, but the clown.
Your brother looks so adorable in his monkey costume! My brother and sister are also afraid of clowns but they're more afraid of Chucky. I think kids are afraid because they're not used to seeing characters that look different from their favorite tv show characters or movie characters. I hope your brother doesn't witness any more little scary clowns on Halloween:)
ReplyDeleteI was that kind of kid when I was little, see one scary thing and run away screaming, not to calm down for the entire night. Even to this day I can't go into haunted houses or watch scary movies. I wish your little brother much courage.
ReplyDeleteI imagined myself as I was reading the reaction your brother made. Then it reminded me of my nephew and nices, so beautiful description.
