I took my kids Halloween costume shopping the other day, and when I walked by the Big Shot Scot costume,



this little kid looked at me and said "Look, mom! That guy has one of those!" Mom said "No, buddy, his is the real thing!" and came over to compliment me on it. I was wearing an Irish saffron by the way.

Another... ahem... gentleman later that same trip said to me "Looks like you're all ready!" I said "For what?" He said "Halloween! You've got your costume!" I asked how he could possibly know that, since I wasn't there looking for a costume for myself and had nothing in my hands. He said "Well, that kilt! That's your Braveheart costume, right?" I was wearing an Iron Maiden t shirt and boots, so I responded "Yeah, they had Carhart boots heavy metal back in the 13th century." He just kinda wandered away...
