    A month or so ago, while shopping for a few groceries. A mother with 2 youngsters, a boy and a girl about 6 - 8 years old, stared a bit as I walked by. After I'd passed I could here the young lad ask his mother, "What's that?"... and then "I wish I had a kilt." I'm thinking to myself... someday that lads gonna wear a kilt. You just never know how people are going to be affected by the kilt, whether they seem to react or not. The impression may last a minute or years.

    Marvelous! Another kilted astronomy buff! The joy of the kilt makes the wonders of the heavens even more beautiful. Here's the website I generally hit right after this one...

    BTW... (Orion the hunter wears a kilt, you know!)

    I love hearing stories like this, when you see the eyes and hear the voice of some young lad wishing he was Kilted.

    A lady who comes into the coffee shop has a son with Downs Syndrome and he so much wants to wear a Kilt, but his mom is still a bit reluctant as he is growing so fast. He would look great in a Kilt.

    Thanks for sharing Michael.

    Call me an old softy, but seeing those youngsters in kilts just makes my heart grow all warm and fuzzy.

    I wish that I had a son.
