    Jack goes to school

    My son decides he wants to wear his kilt for the last day of school. "Are you sure?" "Yup". After school we ask "did anyone say anything?". "A couple of people called it a skirt" he says. "What did you say?". He shrugs. "I don't care what they say".

    He's 6. How old was I before I was that brave? 27? Older? Man, I'm proud of that kid.
