kinda funny incident

That is awesome. My son has asked to wear his kilt for the last day of school. I want to let him, but with the lack of understanding in American children, I am worried. I am glad you are making a positive change.

I don't know how old your son is but if he's of younger age, it will be considered only correct parenting if you still let him go kilted after you had a talk about how "people can be close minded and negative towards things that are strange to them at first".

It's something they'll learn anyway, if not now then later on with whatever they do that their environment disapproves about. So might as well have them be loud, proud and prepared! :-)

You can tell him that he can always take off his kilt whenever he wants to, but that it'll take those people a lot more time before they'll have a nice and open mind like he has, let alone his courage and the bravery to stand up for yourself.


(it does depend on your kid though, if you think he's too shy then it may not be a good approach, you're the best one to judge!)

Either way kudos to him for wanting to do what causes even grown men to pause (unnecessarily yet it does), at least for the first outing.

Alan, if you were in a safeway over here it must have been the same one I was in, there isnt one in Lihue, theres only one here in Kapaa.

Better than my incident on the weekend...
walking along the road with my wife, this elderly geezer calls to me, pulled out a book from his bag, now, he doesn't know me from Adam and he thrusts this big book in my face called "God is not Great"!!!!

I had a brief look over it, told his I thought it was rubbish and suggested he 'get on his bike'.

Sometimes, wearing a kilt is like wearing a big sign saying "I'm interested in all your weird ideas".

but hey, it makes life interesting!

haha! i havent got anything like that yet. pretty much the worst I seem to get is the strange looks for the very uneducated once in while. but for the most part, everyone digs it big time when the seen someone in a kilt, but male and female. EXCEPT when of course the guys woman is paying a little to much attention to you.
I finally got my clergy kilt on its way. I'm going to by a tab collar shirt to go with it. Im curious to see the reaction of people with that one though
