Yesterday kids wanted bald eagles and cows (can't do either), and I once had a child request a porcupine.

Obviously, I don't want to say "I don't know how to do that one."

What are your clowny reponses to this?

Some that I've heard before are:

• I don't make porcupines on Saturdays
• How 'bout a porcupine's wiener dog?
• I wasn't at clown school the day they taught porcupines.

Also, Fitz, can you show me how to make a balloon porcupine?

Kid:"Hey clown, make me a porcupine!"
Clown:"I can't make a porcupine... but I can make a weazle!"
Kid: "Okay"
(Clown starts making a fairly obvious traditional dog)
Kid: "Thats not a weazle its a dog..."
Clown: "Wait kid, I'm not done yet"
(*Clown unbuttons a clown pin and pops the dog*)
Clown: ... "Heres your weazle... it even went pop"

I've done this several times... but always for older kids (Preteens-etc) when they ask for something I can't make
