I see mannequins with hair like that a lot. Well … not specifically like that, but in that form. Hair on mannequins isn’t usually hair, synthetic or otherwise, but just part of the plastic mold airsprayed afterward to create the color effect of hair without taking away from the focus on the clothes, which should be the main focal point for clothes shoppers. I can see where the confusion comes in, as the mannequin is placed in the foreground, yet has the color of the background. It also appears to be in the running position and, since we can’t see movement that well, it seems to be part of the action with everyone else.

My very first thought was, indeed, the Not Me thought. Especially since the family is leaving a dotted line wherever they go!

The original “Not Me” reference already made me LOL! Awesome!

Maybe it’s just me, but I think the kid looks like Charlie Brown if he’d had the top of his head whacked off like a cocoanut, with a machete, then had it stitched back on.

The issues about that little figure are made worse because my brain fills in the rest of the line of the floor behind/under his torso, which makes him look translucent.

I can see the category mistake happening: “Baby” is to “Big” as “Blues” are to “Happy”; opposites, no? Just a loose neuron somewhere.

I also thought the boy was a mannequin for the short time I could ignore the hair.

I say: colorization oversight.

Since this is filed under “One Big Happy,” maybe it’s the ghost of Ruthie after the horrible mishap with the razor.

By golly, that’s not a child, ghost or otherwise. It’s a dwarf monk.

Clearly a ghost. Notice that the spectral child’s head is not sitting squarely on his shoulders. Something you don’t see every day. As others have pointed out, the haircut is awful - looks more like something you would see in the middle ages rather than a modern day mall.

The real question is what is the ghost of a child from the middle ages doing in a mall.
