Wisdom from my son

**lukeyrobertson** · 4th February 12, 10:16 AM

Yesterday, I was driving with my 12 yr old son down MacLeod Trail in Calgary--a busy commercial stretch in a city of 1 million. Interrupting my son, who was listening to his I-Pod, I casually said, "You sure don't see any men wearing kilts around here." "No, you don't", replied my son who then added, "It takes a real man to wear a kilt, not just a 'poser'." I said, "Where did you hear that?" "No where, I just thought it".

So there you go guys, wisdom of the day. We're no "posers"!

Your son has wisdom beyond his years.

Dear Mods, if wisdom is "advice" I'm Ok for this thread to be here. I really intended it for "general kilt talk". Please move the thread if necessary. Thanks good sirs.

Hey, that kid "gets it."

Irony is that we do pose a lot for photos...but that's a different sort of posing.

Ain't it great to think, "Hey, this kid may grow up okay and be able to take care of me in my olde age - second diaper era...."

Thanks Riverkilt. What can I say... I'm proud of him. And, his wit is wonderful. I like his notion of "real".

Wise for sure.

You should be proud of him.

That should be your signature line!
