Today Sunday, my wife and I were shopping at Target for some sweaters to go with my kilts, when we find ourselves in an aisle facing 3 'kids' (between 17-19 y/o maybe) as we walked one way they were walking towards us.

The kids and I locked eyes, we nodded to each other and kept walking. Of course they were staring from the moment we entered the aisle and they saw us.

So we pass each other and then we turn for the next aisle. Soon after I can hear them laughing and saying something I couldnt understand, but then they said fairly aloud 'hey hey come heRRE laddie!'.

So, wife and I looked at each other and she knew, so I walked back to where the kids were having a good time at my expense, and soon as they saw me they started to muffle their laughs and act cool you know, like 'ok cool it while the skirt dude is here'

So, since I have no problems walking to someone's face...I walked straight into their little threesome and plainly said 'yes?, you guys called me?'

One of them got whiter than a sheet of paper real quick and of course started to explain they were just goofing and didn;t mean anything by it, how they think is cool and they saw braveheart and the pegasus parade and the louisville pipe band, etc. and sort of apologized.

I very quickly explained that there are several other kilties in our area, and some of them may not be as patient as me and left them with a parting thought.

'Be respectful to others instead of goofy to yourselves'

Couple of thumbs up and back to my wife I went.

I'll admit that I white faced when I had to face her anger towards me for going after those kids though.

I know who wears the pants in our household.
