What's a Nice Way to Put This?

[PiperOfThePlains]

With the summertime season approaching the arid, blisteringly hot Texas Panhandle, I've decided that it's time for me to start casually kilting more often. However, the CKP have again decided that this is world's most terrible and horrendous idea. "What or who are the CKP" you ask? The "Casual Kilt Police." A mostly pleasant group consisting of two members, both of whom are my parents. According to my parents, "A kilt is part of a costume you wear whenever you are asked to pipe somewhere, or for Estes Park, or for your Scottish meetings." Brutal, right? Now, before you jump to any conclusions, their stance is based almost entirely off of their lack of knowledge regarding kilt wearing. No one EVER in my family has ever dawned a kilt, but me. It's not a normal thing for them. Unfortunately, this is how it's been for the last several years. Last year, I attempted to go kilting casually, but they gave me the world's largest "No." Before you rush into anything, let me tell you that I am a very good little boy who does everything they ask me to, and not a second later. As you may or may not know, I am homeschooled, so school kilting isn't an issue. And, no, I'm definitely not trying to rebel or anything, as my younger brother does a fine job of that...

I'm stuck between a rock and a very hard place; that hard place being my parents.

So, basically, what I need to know is what is a nice, respectable, polite way to explain to them that casual kilting isn't a felony? You guys are probably my only hope for survival.
