No me tratas como si fuera un payaso. That's how I would say it, don't know if it's right. Is there a better way? Gracias.

No me tomes por tonto.
No me cojas de payaso.
Your way is perfectly fine also.

I've heard payaso for fool once or twice but I avoid coger like the plague. I like No me tomes por.... though. Nice ring to it.

coger is only bad in Central America...don't be affraid to use it, it's just another Spanish verb that means to take = tomar - 00813f2a, JUN 5, 2010
The guys at work don't know it to anything but that though. If I say coger to them they only use it for that. - jeezzle, JUN 5, 2010
That's tough...my second wife was from Honduras and I used to use coger in front of her entire family. She used to get angry with me, i used to tell her, learn how to speak...Of course, we got divorced. - 00813f2a, JUN 5, 2010
