describe the blue mans childhood

Joseph Corvelzchik is the Blue Man. His first memory is his mother "lifting him " over the ocean as they immigrated from Poland to America. As a small child, his parents forced him to work in a sweatshop because they simply had no money. One day he is given silver nitrate to calm his nerves. This turned his skin the colour blue. Shunned by society, he was invited to join a traveling circus.
