9 year old kid with flamboyant sequin shirt walks in front of me on street.

I was thinking about writing up a detailed account of this particular event from last Sunday in Seattle, but I think the title says it all.

long-sleeve, bright purple, 100% sequin shirt

His entire family was dressed totally normal, but for some reason he decided to go a different route today.  He wasn't even wearing tap shoes or a feather boa or anything that would have at least suggested he was coming back from some sort of school performance.

(And props to me for snapping this photo without stopping and without bring attention or humiliation to myself.)
