Kilted at K's School
Friday I took my daughter to school. I was kilted she was not. I spent all day about town and picked her up at 3:00pm. I was glad that I had gotten to spend a day kilted and was proud of most of the people around town. I got a call Monday night from My EX-wife (K's mom). She asked me if everything was ok at school on Friday. I told her that as far as I knew everything was fine. She then asked me if I wore a kilt to the school and why. I explained that I just wore the darn kilt...no real reason. She had be believing that someone had complained about it or that the teacher did not approve.
Since she attends a private school I didn't know what may be against the rules. To play it safe when I took her today I wore my jeans...and hated it. I asked the teacher this morning if my wearing a kilt to the school was ok and she was surprised. "I really didn't notice until someone pointed it out to me. I thought that it may have been some sort of heritage day. I thought it was cool." That was the jest of her response. I explained that I had recently gotten the kilt and that it was no special occasion other than I wanted to wear it. She encouraged me to wear it any time I felt the need, and said "I love to include activities in class that my students parents are into."
VERY VERY COOL TEACHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Suddenly I like Mrs. Cox a lot more than I did. (not that I didn't like her to begin with mind you.) Kudos to Mrs. Cox and Greenfield School!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's been a long strange ride so far and I'm not even halfway home yet.
