Now he knows perfectly well what it is, but I reminded him, anyway. He said "But my mommy says it's a skirt!" I confronted her and asked why she was miseducating the kids. She told me that only cross dressers wear things like kilts. I have given her all kinds of information, both printed and virtual. I want to be a history teacher, so I have tons of books. I gave her one about the battle of Coluden, and I gave her one on the history of tartan. So she knows damned well what the kilt is. She is just living proof that you can lead a jackass to water, but you can't make it drink. I don't even have any pics of how good I looked because she is the one with the camera and refused to take any pictures of me from the waist down.
That sucks, NightHawk. It sounds to me like you are a more patient man than I am. I think I would have lost it. I tend to not deal with the irrational very well. It really p*sses me off when adults use children as weapons. What a sad, little woman she must be.
