You forgot the Batman bit

Will you be bringing your son to our meet next week?

Oops, forgot that this one will be a bar crawl, not suitable for Batman-pez wearers.

But will you coming to the city for the Tartan Week Parade? That might be a good chance to expose him to his heritage.

i'm very proud of my Irish heritage. (probably the main reason i like the Kilt. though my only link to my family geneology is my mom and she isn't sure of our heritage.) And i plan on instilling this in my children (son is almost 3, daughter is 1) My wife's problem with my wearing the kilt around the kids is that she thinks it might confuse them (ie: why is dad wearing a skirt?)

Kids at that age ask questions because they're still learning the rules. "Why is dad wearing a skirt" is best answered with, "well, it's a special kind of skirt, called a Kilt, worn by men."

"why is mommy wearing trousers?"
equally valid question

My 5 year old son and my wife will be meeting up with us along the way of the pub crawl. I have never had a problem with children in the pub. I dont want my son growing up thinking that drinking is a big mystery. Iv had way to many of my childhood friends die to young. All because when they were finally exposed to drink they went out and thought it was just too cool to go out and get smashed for not knowing any better.
