I'm lovin' it ~

He is a bit scary when you see him up close and personal, what with that shocking reddish-orange hair and extra-large feet.
But then again I am easily scared.
Today I went to a school program featuring an appearance by Ronald McDonald, that wacky spokesclown from McDonaldland.
He captivated the elementary school kids as he talked to them about the importance of staying physically fit by making it a habit to get plenty of exercise.
The children learned to use their imaginations on a rainy day when they can't play outside, and he got them to travel into outer space with him on an imaginary rocket ship.
The kindergartners through third graders loved the program and even had a chance to scream at the top of their lungs at one point.

Just another one of the perks of my never-a-dull-moment career.

Do you think, when Ronald was a little clown, he decided he wanted to grow up to be a spokesclown or did he just fall into that job? Hmmmmm.....

probably just fell into it with a loud thud

Sounds like fun! Ronald has sure come a long ways since the days he was portrayed by Willard Scott.

For some reason, whenever I see clowns now, I want a Big Mac and Fries ;-)
