Laureen tried to pull off her clown nose, but only honked it again.
*Gulp* "Am I stuck like this?!?" Laureen asked as she started to feel self-conscious.
With no one around to answer, Laureen opted to leave the trailer. Jingling as she stepped outside, Laureen blushed as she thought of the attention she might draw. A quick try proved she couldn't take off her belled slippers or the rest of her costume, so Laureen gingerly tiptoed her way back into the open carnival.
"Hey look, momma, a clown!" said a little boy.
Laureen spun to look in the boy's direction and tripped over her belled toes. She fell end over end into a dizzy jingling pile. The boy and his parents laughed at her and walked on. Eventually, Laureen stopped jingling and got back onto her belled feet.
