Conquering My Fear of Clowns

When I was little I used to have this recurring nightmare about Ronald McDonald. I would be running from his in this tunnel and he was sort of backlit. He would always be just behind me, almost catching up. He looked just like Ronald McDonald is supposed to look, but in addition to the floppy shoes and the red hair; he also had glistening, long fangs.
It was absolutely horrifying. To this day I am fearful of old Ronald. My daughter, though, loves the guy. She has wanted to meet him for a couple of years now and I have found that is is really hard to track down Ronald McDonald appearances just by searching on the internet. Instead, my sister told me she had taken my nephew one summer to see him do magic tricks at one of the local libraries.
So, I have been tracking Ronald and his appearances at the local libraries and today I finally got up the nerve to take my daughter to see him and his odd little array of magic tricks. I appreciate that he explained that magic only math and science and art and such. I actually learned a lot and will take a good bit of the information into the classroom with me one day.
I think I can say I am no longer fearful of Ronald McDonald, but he still creeps me out.
