I guess many of us are show-offs at heart (or we just don't give a d*mn what others think)

Fine children in Minnesota!

Minnesota where all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average.

Show off, me? In reality I am sure. Great laugh from a smart young lady.

Aye, where baking chocolate chip cookies is concerned, give her any answer to keep in her best graces.

I find children's honesty and curiosity to be one of life's greatest treasures. I always give them polite and truthful answers, though sometimes in a much more diplomatic form than the answers I would give to an adult.

I think I fall into the latter catagory myself.... I do have honorable intentions by wearing a kilt... But I enjoy the fact that it's intimidating to some.. I am 6'2" and about 270 and walking around in the kilt, I make that eye contact, and watch how quickly others turn away.... While the girls smile like the Cheshire cat. I am really an easy going guy... But I do not care what others think, as long as I am respectful and dress proper.

I agree we talk to children in a more diplomatic way, because they do not understand. We talk in a manner where they learn something.... Even if it's admiting we like to show off...LOL

I was with my daughter and walked by one of her acquaintances' houses while wearing my new SWK, and was promptly asked why I was wearing a kilt---it was my birthday present---closely followed on by The Question from the neighbour lady, whereupon I instantly felt my pleats rising behind and heard my 6yo daughter's confident voice declare, "He's not wearing anything under there." I then, bemusedly, had to a have a brief conversation with her about polite behaviour in public; much to the amusement of the neighbour lady (who seems convinced I "crave attention"). I never expected to be 'kilt-checked' by my own daughter... who knows my habits very well to begin with. I'm going to have to be extra vigilant 8 years on, perhaps earlier at Highland Games!
