    So i did work at a summer camp this summer, and was assigned to various age groups across the 7 weeks (I had 14 year olds and a group comprising 7-1/2 to 9 year olds primarily). And the msot interesting phenomenon was the younger kids got extremely possessive of their counsellors (me being one), and after they got into the "his man skirt is so cool and we wanan be jsut like him" mindset, whenever someone said "hey, what's with the skirt?" and one of them was around, they'd jump in before I could say anything and proudly blurt out "it's a kilt, don't you know?!?!?!" In all honesty, I had anticipated a more shocked reaction from the kids base don my experiences in public back home. Kids never cease to surprise me...

    Sorry if I started anything...since mine wasn't deleted guessing I managed to stay on the right side of the line. Just attempting to describe the situation on a cultural basis...then clarify the distinction between the two beliefs...

    I don't want to get into religion, and I'm sure Riverkilt didn't either. He was just providing a cultural background for the reactions he experienced.

    I just want to point out what others have mentioned. Just as there are many sects of every other religion, there are also different sects of LDS. I have LDS friends who love kilts, know a lot about them, own them, and want them. Not every Morman wears frontier clothes.

    That's all. I certainly don't want to get into anything serious, I just wanted us all to be on the same page.

    Andrew.

    Children staring at me doesn't phase me at all. After all, children, while generally more open-minded about things than their parents, will naturally stare at something new.

    It's the adults who stare that give me the willies.
