Why, I outta...!!

So, I go into Wal Mart tonight. I hadn't been kilted all day since I was working the greater part of it. But, I had to wear (oh, no arm twisted... ouch, ouch, ouch) my SWK saffron kilt in there as I was hunting thread to match it (the wife is undertaking the "third" buckle for me.) As I'm browsing through the thread spools, I'm aware of two youngsters running around the aisle over and peaking periodically around the corner at me. Granted they were children, but these two were old enough to know. What was it they should know you ask? They were old enough to clearly deduce that I am a man. I'm sorry, but I of ALL people have never been mistaken for a woman. These two little smart-mouthed punks, shout one to another "is that a BOY or a GIRRRRRRL?" :confused: :confused: WHAT?!?! I would have most certainly chuckled and thought nothing more of "why is that guy wearing a skirt?" Or, "boys can't wear skirts!" or something. But, oh well... whatever. I guess taking a 2.5" kilt belt to some butt would get me in the slammer stat. Little punks.

You could have just lifted your apron, and answered their question for them.

Would that be considered coldcocking them? :rolleyes:

You know, that's tough one. OF course you can't flash them, you'll get arrested for that. And honestly, they knew perfectly well that you were a man, they were just being obnoxious. There is essentially nothing you can do to change those kids in the twenty seconds you are interacting with them, so let it go. Their opinion is totally irrelevant to your life, anyway.

Now, if you'd seen them with their parents shortly after the incident, then things might have been different. Then again, maybe their parents are brain-dead cretins as well, eh?

About a year ago, my daughter's girl scout unit had an international day. By luck, her troop got Scotland, so I donnned my kilt and Argyll jacket and went along to aid their presentation.

A little girl from another troop came up to me and asked why I was wearing a "man-skirt." Harmless enough, I figured, so I explained that it was not a skirt, but a kilt, and that men in Scotland wear them. Then, she said, "My daddy says it's a man-skirt." I saw the guy across the room, sniggering and it was obvious he had put her up to it.

So, I said, "Honey, you need to go tell your Daddy he's an idiot." She went back and the sniggering stopped.

Excellent!

I have to admit... I'm not always that quick on my feet.

I'll take crap like that from a woman, but not a man. You did right calling him out.

He asked for it and you gave it to him.
