Today I suffered the ultimate putdown. I took my granddaughter to the local childrens park to burn off some excess energy. I noticed a 6 year old boy staring at me. He finally came over and touched my kilt. So I said its called a kilt. He pondered that a bit and then looked at me and said "but it's a skirt." Well, I said, you are absolutely right it is a skirt but it's a mans skirt and that semed to satisfy him. His mother and I and few other parents had a good chuckle over it and he went on to play with the rest of the kids having had his curiosity satisfied.
