Kids and Kilts

[sadkingbilly]

My neighbours just returned from holiday. I tended to their pets and plants while they were away. Walked into their garden without knowing they were back already. I wore my kilt because I just recieved a new sporran. The parents didn't even blink (just a "nice kilt, new?"), their 11 year old girl asked me if I went to Scotland on vacation. When I told her no, I just like it she nodded like that made all the sense in the world. The 14 and 16 year old boys didn't even mention it. But on the other hand, they are well behaved and always polite. I doubt even when I would appear in a dress with high heels they would say anything. That's how I would like my kids to turn out!

Fortunately, I don't usually have to worry about the wee lads and lasses too much. When I encounter them my daughter is usually with me and I defer to the opinion of the six year old. I have been wearing a kilt since she was about 2 and so she doesn't remember me not wearing it. She is quick to jump to my defense, as is my wife with the older questioners. All I have to do is stand there and look handsome. Okay, so maybe that is a bit overstated.
My daughter has most recently explained it to her kindergarten class when I wore it for their St. Paddy's day party at school. She even had a few of the parents intrigued. They came to me to ask questions later. All in all it was a good experience and it just reminded me that Katie (6 yr old) won't let nobody mess with her Daddy.
I have to say that I am disappointed that the days of her saying, "Daddy, wear your quilt today."

That is sweet!
