Yep. Galoshes on kids are adorable x 10.

I can't even.
Galoshes are the rubber-sort-of-boots that he's wearing? So that he could jump into puddles without getting his feet wet and his parents worried?

I was going to swan off now because I forgot the beer at home for the post-work softball game. But I'll just swan off early and hit the store pre-game.
But, you, Vortex, should clearly swan off and have lunch options.
