So, I just got off the phone with one of the boys from my neighborhood and who attends my church. He is a good kid and was wondering if he could borrow my kilt for a school dance on Saturday.

I have to say that I'm a bit torn - on the one hand, it's a good opportunity to talk about and share kilt-wearing. On the other, I only have one kilt and it's an eight-yard, 16-oz. tank that represents a significant investment and would take some time (both in fund-raising and production/shipping) to replace.

So, what would you tell him if you were in my place?
