The easily confused word used incorrectly in the sentence is "are".
To determine this, we need to understand the context of the sentence and the correct usage of the words. In this sentence, "we" are watching the clowns perform their circus act with "our" parents.
The correct word to use in this context should be "our" instead of "are". "Our" indicates possession, indicating that the parents belong to the group of people watching the clowns. On the other hand, "are" is a form of the verb "to be" and does not fit in this sentence.
