Think of the lesson that you will teach your kids, if you wear your kilt quietly and with pride, no matter what they or anybody else thinks.

It would be an entirely different lesson, if you were to wear it and be combative and aggressive about it. However, if you just strap it on without making a big fuss, look reasonably presentable, and act with honor and kindness, then your kids WILL learn, whether they die a thousand deaths from embarrassment or not.

Look at it this way. Isn't it embarrassing when your kids do (fill in the blanks) ______________. Well they just go ahead and DO that anyway, right? So turnabouts' fair play!
