The Boys has the bug

[TheSp8]

The strike to the eye was wrong. It was a small insult undeserving of such severe retaliation.

Bothered can cover a whole range, especially if a person tends to under state things. If the bothering included the other boy laying hands on Jay's son then I would view it as an acceptable response. If conflict can be avoided then fine, but there comes a time when you cannot honorably avoid confrontation. Once that point is reached, you make the point short and quick to end the situation, which it sounds like happened. Remember the old saying, the best defense is a good offense. I'd warrant that Jay's boy has had less trouble from others since that day.

Jay, the main problem I see with a son wanting to wear kilts is that his kilt wearing could cut into your kilt budget. The rest comes with growing up anyway.

I'm hoping to get my son his first kilt for Christmas, he'll be 2 in Jan. As for him wearing it to school, probably not. I can see if it's a speacial occation, like Remembrance Day, a Christmas thing or something along those lines. It's just not realistic to have them run around all day at school in a kilt. Now if he wants to wear it on the weekend or after school, then I don't see why not. It's not like he couldn't hold his own, he's a little thug , but it's just that kids do so much running around all day, I hate to say it , but pants for school just seem like a better option.

I've just gotten my son (1 year old) his first, and I hope it arrives in time for Christmas Pictures.

Other than temprature (cold days) what isn't practical about him wearing the kilt to school? Little girls wear skirts all the time. It will wear out slower than pants (like toddlers wear their clothes out), and it makes it easier to change diapers.

I don't know how much provision can be made for growth every time you buy a kilt for a child but certainly they would grow out of it rather than wear it out.
