I get asked that a lot. It happened today as I was out shovelling snow in my driveway. Somebody walking by just had to stop and carry on a conversation with me

Stranger: "Aren't you cold in that?"
Me: "In what?" Knowing damn well what he means...
Stranger: "In that kilt."
Me: "I have 25 feet of fabric wrapped in layers around my waist, how about you?"
Stranger: "What about your legs?"
Me: "Thick wool socks and these snowboots keep my legs toasty warm."
Stranger: "What about your knees?"
Me: "There isn't a lot of skin showing and I don't notice the cold much there."
Stranger: "What about wind?"
Me: "What about it?"
Stranger: "I mean isn't it cold when the wind blows up your kilt?"
Me: "I suppose it would be if it blew UP but in my experience wind generally blows horizontal."
Stranger: "Oh... Umm... What kind of dog is that?"

Funny how quickly he changed the subject. No segue or anything, just a new line of questions. He asked so many questions I was wondering if he was a 2 year-old trapped in a man's body. I was kinda hoping he would ask THE question because I already had "snowballs" in mind as an answer.

I do get a few comments from women asking if I'm cold because they say if they were in a skirt they would be cold. I just let them feel the thickness of the fabric and tell them about the 25 feet of it wrapped in layers and they understand. The "What about your knees?" question never comes up from women for some reason.
