And he said nothing about the tonic? Unbelievable. I'm flabbergasted.

Hey, tonic is a vital component of Gin & Tonic... Which, according to Douglas Adams is a name that every alien species uses for a drink.... the drink is different, and the spelling may change, but they've got one...

Sorry for the hijack, back to your regularly scheduled post:

I love it when I see people who are educating their children about the diversity we find in life... He could have just as easily pointed, laughed, and told his kids boys shouldn't wear skirts...

Rex,

The tonic water was unadorned, without the gentle prescence of gin and slice of lime it escaped his notice.

Bonnie T100,

Was wearing my SWK Hunting Mcleod, SWK braided sporran, ecru hose, red flashes, turtleneck, a jean jacket, and apparently a confident attitude.

Vince,

I'm 38 years old. But I am a stay at home dad with a 6 1/2 year old son and a 3 3/4 year old daughter, so it might be a case of it not being the age , but the mileage :rolleyes: .

Cheers

[Pour1Malt]

[chasem]

that's great, Panache!

I don't know how I'd respond in that situation at all, I'd be far to embarassed/ecstatic to be that calm about it

[BonnieT100]

Ok, the question begs asking - what were you wearing?

[Vince]

Father: This is your lucky day. That is a piece of history.
[/I]

Not to throw cold water on this grand experience, but I was curious. When he said “piece of history” was he referring to you or the kilt?

At this point Seattle Vince deftly ducks a number of thrown objects flying in his general direction.

All kidding aside; that sounds like a great encounter. I like it when I run into people that not only appreciate the kilt, but also the people who wear them.

Thats great, that totally teaching his kids respect.

I was at the grocery store purchasing some vitally needed tonic water and mushrooms* when I noticed two children looking at me in the checkout line next to me. I continued with my purchase and overheard the following from their father.

Father: Do you see that? Do you know what that is?

Child: mumbles

Father: But have you ever seen one in real life on someone?

Child: mumbles

Father: This is your lucky day. That is a piece of history.

Child: mumbles

(Panache takes his purchases and heads out the door, stage right)

Father: One more thing. What do you notice about that man? Do you see he doesn't care what anyone else thinks. He's going to wear that because it's right, and that's what makes it cool.


Cheers



* Ok, the Tonic Water was vitally needed, the mushrooms were an afterthought.

Same thing happened to me at a brewery tour a couple months ago.. The lady asked me if I would mind if she pointed out my kilt to her children. I was pleased to oblige.
