When clifford was a young boy, he used to be afraid of clowns. His parents ran a carnival with an amusement park every year. They were like so much into the clowns that it scared clifford further away from them.
When kids at school used to see clifford, they used to laugh at him and call him every clown joke they knew. Funny thing is that he had bright red hair. His parents told him that when he is old enough they want to dress him up in one of their clown costumes.
Clifford, told them that it would be done over his dead body because he would never agree to it otherwise.
His parents looked at him with the most evilest look and they laughed.
Every year on halloween clifford was able to be anything he wanted. So, he dressed as a vampire. His parents looked at him in dismay. His mother grabbed him by his cape and demanded that he put on the clown costume. He screamed and cried and said:
" like i said, the day i ever wear one of your clown costumes, it would be over my dead body. I will never wear it as long as i am alive and kicking."
His parents left him be and gave him that same evil look they did years ago.
So clifford got his way once again and he wore the vampire costume out for halloween.
Years have passed by and clifford was turning eighteen years old. His parents wanted to do something special for him.
They bought him his first car and in a big box was an adult size clown costume.
When he opened the box, he threw the costume across the crowded room and said:
" mom and dad ever since i was a young boy, you have been terrorizing me with that clown outfit. I told you i don't like clowns, and like i said since i was a young boy that the only way you will ever get that costume on me would be over my dead body. Because as long as i am alive and kicking , that thing isn't going anywhere near me. Is that understood?"
His mom turned around with that same evil look that she gave him, time and time again.
Because, over the years he disobeyed his parents, they made a spell on their only child. Since he would not co-operate and wear it willingly, when he would be on his 25th birthday he would turn into a real clown. His make up would be permanent and his clothes would be his body. He would never be able to take off his clown costume or his make up ever again. He would have to learn to enjoy the perks of being their carnival clown.
So they let him have his fun once again, his years were numbered, little did he know.
He was to enjoy the last few years of his life.
Time went by and his parents never begged him again because they knew he didnt have much time left to enjoy his years of being a human being.
Next year is gonna be the year he will never forget. Next year is cliffords 25th birthday and the minute the clock strikes 12:01 he will be in their hands. He will never be able to say No to them again.
Clifford had met this beautiful girl named Angelina, she was totally in awe with him.
They have been dating now for at least one year. He has a whole life planned out for them. after his 25th birthday he is supposed to inherit one million dollars from his great, uncle charlie.
But, his parents have different plans for their son.
It was the a few hours before clifford becomes their clown forever and it was a few hours before clifford becomes a millionaire.
He had so many plans for his life but with this magical spell everything will be ruined.
The clock ticked and it was 12:01, clifford was at home getting ready to meet up with his girlfriend. All of a sudden, his body was shaking and he was feeling very sick.
He went to lie down for a bit and when he awoke the next morning, he was definatley not himself.
He looked at himself in the mirror, and started to cry. His parents walked in the room and laughed at their pitiful son. His mom said:
" see if only you would of co-operated with us when you were younger. All we wanted was for you to enjoy the perks of being a clown. You never once even gave it a try, all you kept saying was over my dead body, i will never be a clown. Now, how does it feel having your life taken away from you?"
Clifford, was never the same guy anymore.
He sat in his chair in his bedroom, and never talked to his parents again. They tried their darnest to bring out the clown in him, but one thing they didnt realize is you can't bring out the clown if their is no clown inside.
Maybe, he lost one million dollars and the woman of his dreams.
But they didn't only lose the clown they always wanted, they also lost their one and only son.
The day clifford turned 25 years old, he died inside. But, so did his parents!!
