Boys, get out of those kilts!

**Prester John** · 30th August 05, 05:55 AM

Well yesterday, the rentals arrived.

The boys immediately tried them on - and wouldn't take them off. There they were, running around the house all afternoon and evening, Black Watch kilts, sporran, and kilt belts, until almost 11:00pm last night.

We finally threatened them sufficiently. It's a strange thing to see a 20 yr old, a 14 yr old, and an 11 yr old bouncing around the house in kilts. I can't quite describe it.

Well, as you can tell, they loved them. I have to hide them now - I can't afford for them to get stained or something spilled or wiped on them before the wedding Friday.

They have all requested kilts for Christmas. Good for Rocky - he'll be getting orders shortly.

On another note, though I'm a newbie, I think this is my 100th post.

I have to go now - work, etc. Plus, I have to be back in time to keep them from finding those kilts.

What a problem to have!

I guess it really is Kilt day!

sounds like you are "training them up in the way they should go", I wish all my boys were excited about kilts, well, the eldest is at least.

In light of Kiltday.com, my boys latest slogan is...

Every day is Kilt Day, but Saturday night is Kilt night.

Don't ask. They're impossible to figure out sometimes.

Oh, happy kilt day.

FYI

My youngest just got home from school and asked if he could wear the kilt.

Evidently, because he went to bagpipe practice, he didn't get as much "kilt time" as the other two.

*heavy sigh*

Prester John,
It's so nice to hear that your boys have such an enthusiasm for wearing the kilt!! I know I was ecstatic the first time I was kilted, and kudos to you for sharing that with your sons!

Well, I'd love to take the credit, but if I were to gauge enthusiasm, I'm afraid it would look like they are passing their enthusiasm to me!

Go figure. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm loving it, but they are seriously addicted...after one day.

Christmas is going to be awfully costly this year.
