A little ticked....

[Tommie]

Having a good job and a four thousand sq foot house does not make your brother any better than you.
From what you have said about how he acts,I would much rather have you as a friend.

just thought I would let eveyone know that I tried to talk to my mom about this today. She came and picked myself and my son up today to go run around. When she got he she told me I should put on pants as it was "cold" out today. I informed her that I was very fine in what I had on (kilt, pushed down socks, short boots, button up shirt, ball cap and the such.) and that I am sure I wold not get cold. In the car I asked what the big deal was, and why did she think it was ok to promise things for me, also why did she think it is ok to tell me what to wear and when. She then informed me that she "Could" tell me what to wear, because she is my mom, and also that I have taken "this kilt thing" to far and need to stop it. Well in the nicest way I could I told her it is not her life and to butt out. Not sure how this will go. She seemed fine the rest of the day.

I am truly blessed to have a mother who knows when to say something and when not to. And I know it hasn't always been easy to keep quiet.

Hang in there. Maybe after you've been going through this kilt "phase" for 10 or 15 years, she'll get it.
