to be miffed at being called "brave" for walking to school?

[Ripeberry]

Today was absolute gridlock around our school due to a motorway accident.
People were taking up to 1hr to travel less than 1 mile as hardly anything was moving.
Managed to get down local country lane and use a public footpath through a field, not too muddy and luckily the weather was beautifull.
Half-way up the hill, get overtaken by 2 landrovers who had the same idea to go in the backway, but no-way were they walking.
They literaly drove up the grassy field.
The DH came back down and asked if we wanted a lift, but i declined as it never hurt anyone to have some exercise and anyway my 3yr old loves walking.
They just thought we were brave to walk up the hill, its not K2!
Managed to get into school on time but someone who actually lives at the bottom of the public footpath, did not want to walk and got in over 45 mins later.
Its only 400yds up the road!
Just makes you despair!

I cycle to work so when I drop dd off, I'm in cycling gear. dd thinks nothing of it and neither do the other mums now - they're used to seeing me - but I think to begin with some of them thought I was some kind of alien...

I taught DD a dual purpose lesson recently we were going into town about 15 minute walk, you can get a bus straight there, DD said "lets gets the bus" I said "no lets walk" she didn't seem convinced so I said "Mummy only has so much money in her purse if we get the bus you will have £1.50 less to spend on treats which would you rather do?", she said - "walk" and we had a good fun walk into town and £1.50 more to spend
