To have yanked DD away from the "Living statue"?

[NCForNow]

One of those living statues in our town...he's doing his thing as we pass...he's holding a lollypop....a cheap and nasty one...he sees my 4 year old close to his feet and bends slowly down towards her whilst proffering the lolly...she naturally reaches out for it.

I yank her away a bit too quickly because of the following

A: You don't take sweets from weird painted men strangers

B: He has not asked my permission

C: He'll expect a pound in his bucket for the lolly

My Mum said "Oh that was a bit rude of you..."

I was annoyed and wanted to tell him to bugger off.

WIBU?

Maat I think the one in our town has a mask too! He's all white...and stands tall on a box in a long white robe.

I refuse to believe living statues that are fantastic exist anywhere in the world.

Quite good would be pushing it.

I looked at that link NC. It has not changed my view.

was it the one on weston pier OP?

I ignore them. They're attention seekers.

That is exactly the kind of thing I can imagine doing. I thought they were meant to stand still, not hand out lollipops...
