I talked about the original great kilts, the story of the origin of the kilt pin, flashes, hose, and the sgian dubh. The boys in the class were disappointed I was carrying my "Sgian Don't" (A comb with a knife-like wooden handle I made) instead of a real blade. But the kids seemed interested. I got a lot of smiles and questions as I went out and about town today doing errands with my daughter.
I raise my glass to all you fine folk and wish you a hardy "Cheers"!
Well done!! That's probably the best "pro-kilt" story I've read on Xmarks! I wonder how many young boys went running home after school asking their parents if they could have a kilt.
And to everyone else, a belated Happy St. Patrick's Day!! Work got in the way of celebrating for me yesterday so I'll have to try to make up for it on Monday. LOL
