"I've got an idea," said Becky as she read the bottle. "It says that while we are changing if we touch someone they'll become clowns along with us. Why not just go ahead and use the ointment, then we touch the kids several times during the week and as they become clowns they'll be surprised!"
"An excellent idea Becky," said Jake. He got four sheets of paper and began writing on them.
For his oldest son sixteen year old Jared he wrote:

After Jake finished writing, he put down his pen and picked up the ointment bottle. As he rubbed it into his wife's feet Becky giggled. Heh he he.....I feel-funny."
