So I'm around the corner today visiting my 85yo mother at the care home wearing my tan Utilikilt Survival II to knock around in today.

There's a new lady resident of the home and she spots me and follows me down the hall to mother's room pushing her walker as fast as she can and just bubbling, "Oh, you're Scotch, my father's family was Scotch too, I'm Scotch!" Didn't see the point in correcting her.

She asked how I liked it in "this country." I politely explained that I was born American of Scot ancestry.

Then she pointed to my kilt and said, "Well, I see you follow the religion."

Out of the mouths of the elderly addled....

Yes, I do follow "the religion."
