What has Sally Snickers done!

Okay, Sally Snickers may have caused a little bit of trouble in a few households...although I prefer to think she's caused a bit of excitement. I've had so many parents contact me to let me know their adorable children have been parading around; answering  front doors; lounging about on beds; or dressing for Book Week parades, with undies perched proudly on their heads. Ha, ha - it cracks me up. I even heard of a three year-old (no names, my darling, but you know who you are) who decided to take the undies off his bottom and pop them on his head instead, because he insisted that's what Sally Snickers does. I am thrilled to bits that kids are relating to Sally Snickers, that they're happy to be different, just as she is, and are free of the inhibitions that restrict many of us adults.
