Sherri and I were shopping at the Safeway yesterday. We were working our way down one of the isles when I hear a child's voice behind me, "Daddy! That man's wearing a skirt!"

I turn and see two girls aged maybe 5 and 6, both pointing in my direction and trying to get their father's attention. Behind them, pushing a shopping cart is their father, turning beet red with embarrassment. The three of them were all wearing blue jeans.

I pointed back at the girls saying, "And you're wearing pants!" At which point the father stepped forward as if to apologize. I smiled at him and said, "I can't win either way, can I?" He smiled back saying, "No, I guess not."

Meanwhile, another couple was observing the action and when I turned back around, the male half of the couple said, "That looks like a utility belt." I replied, "It's a utility kilt." His wife, apparently the more observant of the two told her hubby, "It's a Utilikilt. Says so right there on the label."

The couple nodded and grunted their approval and we all continue on with our shopping.

Who ever thought a trip to the market could be so much fun!
