Clowning Around

When I was 13 and new to the realm of internet dating and chat rooms of the 90s, I “met” a boy four states away. He was 19 and had a really cute profile picture. We would go on “online” dates since I was 13 and my parents never let me out of their sight…and he lived four states away. Anyways, fast forward three months later, my mom cut off my internet (and rightfully so) and I gave him my address naively before we got cut off. A week later, he “wrote” me a letter in psychopath handwriting about what a bitch his ex girlfriend was, randomly throwing in INSANE CLOWN POSSE FOREVER every few lines for good measure. Then he signed it by drawing a picture of a clown with fangs and enclosed a picture of himself wearing  a clown shirt.

I’m pretty glad this wasn’t a real date!

Glad he was 4 states over instead of being in your city.

Though, as an adult, I think if someone sent me a drawing of a clown with fangs, it would virtually make my life.

So wrong and crazy. I’m glad there was some good parenting involved.

Anything ICP related is not cool. At all. Ever.

it’s supposed to be a little icon of the MST3K guys commenting on a circus scene where one clown is spanking another. Crow’s comment: “More, more I’m a BAD CLOWN”

Ha, those were the days…

Thanks, OP!

We were pretty much all new to internet chat rooms in the 90s, unless you were a hardcore computer science geek.

But yeah, I remember how exciting it was to talk to people a million miles away. Those were the days, for sure!!

As a parent you have to be very careful with kids and technology. It is way too easy for them to get into trouble and they are too immature to handle that trouble.

Scary! OP is lucky this didn’t end worse. You never know what crazy people are out there! This is why kids need to be supervised online.

I’m glad that the OP learned a lesson about guarding her personal information without anything too serious happening.
