Are we judged by our children's outfits?

So I had all 5 kids in tow while running errands. The last stop was grocery shopping. As I am standing in the checkout I start doing my normal head counting of children. I noticed my 5 yr old was not next to me - he was in the aisle across from us. I couldn't tell what he was doing. My almost 14 yr old daughter was asking him what he was doing and he kept saying "nothing". Finally I could see, he was pulling out coupons from a little coupon holder on a shelf. He would then stuff them down into his boots. Now these are not just any boots - they are rain-boots - that are bright red and look like firetrucks. They have "wheels" on the sides of the boots and everything. He is wearing these boots with royal blue shorts, and an oversize grey sweatshirt that has Power Rangers on it (he has never even seen the show but loves this sweatshirt). I tell him it is time to go. I push the cart with the baby in it towards the door - while over my shoulder barking out orders - "keep up everyone" "Adyson and Parker come on let's go" "Amanda do you have CJ with you?" Leaving the store I add "Watch for cars" as I look back at everyone. I then see my 5 yr old in full color - his wonderful outfit - and now coupons sticking out of the top of his boots have been added.
I cannot help but laugh at this - such a kid moment. It was truly priceless.
But I have to admit I saw a few people give us a weird look. And I wondered if I was being judged as a mother with my son looking the way he did. And I thought - I hope so! If a mother can allow her child to run errands like he was, you know she must love him enough to let him be a little independent when it really does not matter what he is wearing. She is letting him be a kid - and enjoy the time in his life that it is ok to go grocery shopping in rain-boots - or even in a full Batman costume when it is not Halloween! It has taken me 5 kids to learn this - my first 2 kids didn't get this much understanding and freedom - those poor children.
