Those embarrassing moments
With my wife working late this evening I decided to cook supper so it would be ready for her when she came home. While the food was cooking on the stove, I decided to go out on the back patio for a bit of fresh air. The lady next door was also out on their patio. She see me in kilt everyday, and always says hello if we happen to be out at the same time. This evening, when she saw me, she pointed at me a doubled over at the waist in laughter.
I was wearing my Scottish American tartan that she always says looks so nice, so I checked the back of my kilt wondering if I had tucked the pleats into the waist - nope. Then I looked down at the apron to discover multiple, blue and white imagines of the Pillsbury Dough Boy, chef's hat and all covering the top half of the kilt apron.  Well they sort of matched well with the colors of the Scottish Saltire that is part of the tartan. I had stuffed a dish towel into the waist of my kilt while cooking and forgot to take it off before going outside. If I ever do that again those little guys better be playing the pipes!

You bring to mind the story of a Spanish bullfighter who oozed machisimo.
He invited a group of friends to his home for dinner, which he proudly cooked himself.
When he donned his wife's frilly apron a friend teased him saying he looked so feminine.
The bullfighter stared his friend in the eyes and said very firmly, "Sir, everything I do is masculine."

Good point, James, stuffing the dish towel into the waistband of the kilt does sound a bit devillish - maybe devilled chicken was on the menu!

Great story! Man, I've actually tucked the back of my kilt in my waist band once ... I still blush when I think about that. My Mom saw it and pulled it down ... she's awesome, she didn't even tease me about it, she just went right on as though it never happened.
I think I'll call my Mom before I ...
Kilt ON!

Which bullfighter was that? hahahaha....
Here we have an anecdote with that great mexican singer called Jorge Negrete. He was visiting Spain in the 50's, and during a dinner he appointed.
"Oh yeah, there in Mexico we are all 100% truly machos!"....
... Then an andalusian got up with his glass of wine on hand and said :
"I toast for that Mr. Negrete, but I may let you know that here in Spain we got a half of machos and a half of women,... and you can't imagine how much we really enjoy it!"
¡Salud!
