Po the Teletubby went back to the beach yesterday. And since she’s attached to my camera bag by a carabiner, she didn’t go alone.

It’s become our end-of-summer tradition in our family to head to the beach before everyone heads back to school and work. We get sand in unmentionable places, we eat food we probably shouldn’t, and I take stupid pictures of angry birds.

In other words, the perfect day.

And since Po has been a part of our narrative since before our kids could walk and talk, it seemed like a normal thing to do to take a picture of her in her natural element.

I appreciate that some folks may think it isn’t remotely normal for an adult to carry a child’s toy around for decades.

But who defines what normal is, anyway?
