This is an interesting little story (or shameless bragging about my second cousin- you decide).

My cousin is in town for Christmas with his little 4 year old Crystol. This little girl is cute as a button! Big squishy cheeks, sweet as can be, and obviously as I learned this morning, very bright an observant. Most kids who don't know what a kilt is will ask me why I'm wearing a skirt. Needless to say, when a child asks, I take the time to explain what it is and why I wear it. Crystol had never seen me in a kilt before, so this morning when I was fixing breakfast, she came into the kitchen and asked "Travis, why are you wearing a blanket?" It's amazing to me! She was able to see right to what the kilt is at it's most fundamental level, with none of the prejudices or biases that most kids have. I told her what it was (of course) and she's been talking about it all day! She loves it! I bet she marries a kiltie when she grows up.

OK- I'm done bragging... er, sharing.
