So today was my final work day at a 10 day long winter festival. This means I will work at easter and then will be on hold probably until summer.
These last 10 days, though, were really busy. And I met my fair share of strange kids & parents. By the way, it seems there are more and more cross-eyed kids these days... shall we blame the teletubbies?
Anyways, today, I served a client who probably traumatized his son to the point where he won't be able to look a clown in the eyes anymore. The 2 yo (aprox.) kid, when he saw us, clowns, started crying. His dad followed the stereotype of most parents when they have a coulrophobic kid: he tried to turn the boy's head by force, saying "LOOK! clowns! they are nice clowns!" etc.
When he realized his son didn't give a shit about if we were nice or not, he started calling him a big wussy. But he didn't stop there, oh no: he wouldn't leave before his kid had some face painting done.
He sat his child on a chair in front of one of our poor face painters, squeezed the kid's head in his hands, forcing him to show his cheek to the face painter, while the poor boy was screaming hysterically. It didn't occure to him that he was torturing his kid. He just continued calling him a big wussy.
jerk.

wow thats horrible , i work in the amusement park industry and see that shit sometimes but never that bad
yeah seeing a parent push his child to go to the clown even if he's scared happens pretty often. But that was abuse. it's the first time I see such a jerk while working, and even worst is that he was even thinking that what he was doing was good.
thanks for passing by!
