Tears of a clown

When I was younger I dated a girl for awhile that was a little sheltered and naive. I had told her that the teardrop meant that you had been... let’s say... “taken” in prison- 1 tear for each “taker.” The way it changed her reaction to movie characters... or the rare occasion we saw someone with such a tattoo in real life... I found it quite funny. I did eventually set her straight. And- to be fair I know it was somewhat mean but don’t judge me too harshly. I would play jokes like that on her and she’d get a laugh too- and she had her own ways of messing with me- often resulting in ALOT of trouble for me including nearly or actually starting fights I’d have to deal with. We were young and I could have been smarter- but we had fun and enjoyed our time together. We grew out of that and our relationship but stayed friends and evolved our relationship to a more mature dynamic.
