An Adorable, Little Boy

This little boy I remember from my childhood, from seeing him at my neighbor’s, as some kind of living room decor. My first time in Brussels I realized that this is where Manneken Pis lives and pees. First time he was butt naked, this time he was, as he many times is, dressed for some occasion. I have no idea what occasion. Thought it had to be Christmas, but it really doesn’t look like it πŸ™‚ What surprised me the most the first time I saw him is how teeny-tiny he really is. So much smaller than what I had imagined. And oh so popular πŸ™‚

  1. LOL!! I can’t believe you think he’s cute πŸ˜‰ I think he’s such a tourist trap!! (He does have a good dressmaker though!) πŸ˜‰

    1. πŸ˜€ Yes, it’s a tourist trap, but I think he’s so cute because he is so small πŸ™‚ I thought he was gonna be a lot bigger, more life-size.

  2. I’ll be there this weekend! πŸ™‚ Can’t wait to go again! #CityTripping

      1. So hopefully this time he does! Sorry pressed reply on accident before I was done!

    1. Apparently there are several legends. My local friend told me it was during a war and a little boy pissed on the fuse of an explosive and thereby saved the town πŸ™‚

Love to hear your comment :)
