Children Staring

[Riverkilt]

Sorry if I started anything...since mine wasn't deleted guessing I managed to stay on the right side of the line. Just attempting to describe the situation on a cultural basis...then clarify the distinction between the two beliefs...

I don't want to get into religion, and I'm sure Riverkilt didn't either. He was just providing a cultural background for the reactions he experienced.

I just want to point out what others have mentioned. Just as there are many sects of every other religion, there are also different sects of LDS. I have LDS friends who love kilts, know a lot about them, own them, and want them. Not every Morman wears frontier clothes.

That's all. I certainly don't want to get into anything serious, I just wanted us all to be on the same page.

Children staring at me doesn't phase me at all. After all, children, while generally more open-minded about things than their parents, will naturally stare at something new.

It's the adults who stare that give me the willies.

That's so true. I went to my nieces fourth birthday party kilted. She ran up to me and ask "what am I wearing?", "It's a kilt" I said. She says "oh", and that was that. No one else even noticed, or cared that I was wearing my kilt. But when I go out for breakfast kilted, only old(er) people stare at me, like I just killed someone. Children are so much easier to deal with.

I've been thinking about this today and realized that since I started wearing a kilt at work,kids staring at me is not a problem-all their concentration is focused on the really big Tonka Toys we have!(I work for a landscape co.)I do get the occasional stare from adults.I've noticed that when you work out in public a lot you tend to get used to looks people give you and not pay them much attention.The biggest reactions come from friends who have'nt seen me in a kilt! Around here a Bapist minister in a kilt(me),is a very rare sight. :grin: :grin:
