Teletubby running!

So I wore my bright purple long sleeved top today for the first time this winter. On my path I saw some mums with toddlers and pushchairs coming towards me. One of the toddlers was a little boy of about 3 who was walking beside his mum.

As I was approaching them the little boy waved at me and got very excited and shouted "hello". I waved and said hello back and ran on with a big smile on my face. How sweet.

Then I thought, " oh I bet he thought I was a teletubby!". One of them does wear bright purple methinks!! Oh well.

Ha ha, I'm sure it wasn't that!!! Don't think the Tellytubbies are on much these days, or have they had a renaissance..? Yeah, TinkyWinky is the purple one, but I'm sure you looked more like a superheroine to him as you sped by:) Bet he can't wait to be running free too:) x
