Different people define and describe the word 'clown' in many different ways. Most would define a clown as a silly character with an ugly face and frizzy hair, behaving in a wierd manner. Others see a clown as someone who's able to bring laughter to the visitors in a theme park.

A clown, in my context, is a funny person. One who tells jokes which aren't appreciated by many people, and yet it can be quite funny sometimes when you think about it over and over again. One who does not have any worries, thus he or she is able to bring joy to the rest who may be feeling troubled.

Being a clown in your own positive way, around your family members isn't that bad after all. At least, you don't have to:

1. Colour your face

2. Put on the bulky costume

3. Wear a bright-coloured wig

4. Wear over-sized shoes    

All you need to do is to be yourself and just interact freely with your family members. If one of them happens to be upset or troubled, you can try cheering him or her up by being a clown. You can find out what's wrong and then do anything which is beneficial. Telling a not-so-funny joke, singing a song off-tune, making silly facial expressions, and etc. If it doesn't work, it's okay.. At least, you tried.

At the end of the day you would consider yourself lucky to be able to be a clown in your family. Because that would mean that you bring joy and you're part of the reason why the family stays intact and close! It's a bliss to do so, no doubt. Try it and you'll feel the fun and joy, and most importantly, you would feel happier.
