Answering the question when it's asked by children

[bjcustard]

I've seen it on someone's sig here...

I tell the kids that my ancestors came from Scotland and Ireland, and I wear it to honor them. When they point out that no one else is doing this, I remind them that a wise man once said, "You should be the change that you want to see in the world."

While they don't understand it today, maybe they will someday.

Blazn, I think that lack of the concept of modesty is one reason it's a rarely asked question by kids, it just doesn't occur to most of them.

And bjcustard, I beleive the wise man most often affiliated with that quote was Mahatma Gandhi.

Of course. And he was a fan of unbifurcated garments, as well as wise.
