"Do you do anything?"
PART 1
Tuesday morning I took my grandson to his daycare, which I frequently do. But, this time I was kilted for a long drive to Allentown, Pa.
His daycare director practically came running out of her office when I entered.
Her: "My you look so handsome."
Me: (Overwhelmed) "Thank you very much."
She looks me up and down, and says: "Do you do anything?"
I think my mouth dropped open a little. I had no idea what to say! Finally she said, "You know do you play the pipes or anything?"
Conversation then went into how much she thought the kids would enjoy having a piper come to the daycare, etc etc.
I had to chuckle to myself for most of the day as I though of it.
PART 2
So, I drive to Allentown (about 9 hours) stopping along the way. Wednesday I'm again kilted as we are out and about. Thursday, still kilted, I drive back to Charlotte again making stops along the way. NOT ONCE in the three days did anyone comment about the kilt!! That was a very curious trip. People ALWAYS comment about the kilt. Oh well, maybe they've seen so many it's no longer a curiosity. (But I doubt it!)
BTW, Do you do anything?
