I caused an accident today

It's ok, it was nothing major and no, it wasn't because people were dazzled by my style or speed. ;-) As I emerged from the woods and ran beside the shinty pitch I spotted 3 wee children hanging around on their fancy wee bikes. As soon as the children saw me, they came out of the corner of the park and joined me on the road that goes past the houses. The boy then started to race me - and he soon got ahead on his wee bike! Well, the two girls decided to join in and the youngest wee girl who was about 4 pedalled like fury and was soon alongside me. However, she was looking at me as she went and didn't realise the wee lad had stopped and stood with his bike across the road. This youngster was still looking at me and ploughed straight into the boy's bike! Luckily neither was hurt, otherwise I'd have to stop my run!
