April 23 rd
“Don’t mention Easter, they’re Jewish!!!”
“So it’s just a birthday party?”
“Yes. Remember to do a good job, they’re my cousins.”
“I always do my best.”
I did very well, as usual, and not once did I mention that it was Easter. At the end of the party, the mom handed me a bag.
“Here you go, ‘Honey Bear.’ Lollypops for the kids…” she said excitedly.
Then her voice turned to a whisper as she finished her sentence.
“They’re kosher.”
“The kids or the lollypops?” I whispered back.
She didn’t find it nearly as funny as I did.
I AM The Hollywood Clown.
