Green rain boots


William is a shy kid. Whenever I take him someplace new or introduce him to new people, he likes to hide behind my leg and hold on to me. It will take him quite a while to warm up and become comfortable.
However, he likes to wear his green rain boots. He will wear them for several days in row, regardless of the weather.
When a kids walks around town with bright green frog boots, he gets a lot of attention. Nearly everyone who passes comments on his boots. William will blush, but he smiles too.
William is constantly causing me to think about myself. We are similar in many ways. We both are particular, picky and impatient. And we both like to be recognized and noticed, even when we don't want attention.
