Knuckle Tats

2026-04-23

During tonight’s playtime in our theater, Naugeleh wandered up and asked…

“So, Knuckle Tats?”

A recurring game around here is the ongoing discussion of what might appear on a clown’s knuckle tattoos. I answered cautiously, knowing I was in the potential blast radius of one of her infamous puns.

“What about them?”

She gestured with four outstretched fingers and an oh-so-innocent questioning look.

“Four, Right?”

I nodded helpfully.

“Unless you’re slop-born, unlucky, or both.”

After a moment of deep concentration while staring at her waggling fingers, she spoke.

“I got one!”

To assist the inevitable along, I made an inquiring noise. She calmly spelled it out for me, ticking off each letter on one of her outstretched fingers.

“Y…I…Zero…A”

I gave her a completely bewildered look.

She melodramatically made a fist, and shook it.

“Why I oughta…”

I love this silly place.
