I had a question regarding Henry's gumboots the other day. I should hope that the above photo aptly demonstrates the need for gumboots in a wet Hobart winter.
Does this child actually look as though he is enjoying himself as he stands dry footed in a very wet puddle? What an acquisition these rubber foot adornments appear to have been. Henry certainly seems to like them.
I also note that Henry may have come across the Phantoms mask. My question is whether or not there was a body anywhere near the mask when located? Can this child be the new voice of the century?
Ohh, now I know those are not shoes, but GUMBOOTS!!!, I wore them only once in my life, while visiting a hill-station, covered in snow and it was not at all a good experience.
But by the look of it, even Henry seems to be indecisive about whether he likes the situation that he is in or not.
Hmmm, as the Bard said: To be (happy) or not to be (happy)....
Gumboots...what koalas wear...boom! boom! (old joke). The most utilised footwear in my boys' wardrobes as youngsters. The saviour of their mother! So easy to put on and take off...and so easy to clean after a long day in mud and puddles (sometimes the puddles actually did the cleaning!!)
The only time I wore these things, I couldn't walk five steps without holding on to someone or something :-( That was the time I took a pledge never to wear these treacherous things again.

I can jump in puddles: Henry McCracken.
But we don't get much rain and no snow at all here in our part of India, so what to do?
Where's the combination??

Tasmanian supermodels wear them.
