Why, I outta...!!

I get that too sometimes. I was called ma'am the other day by people who seriously didn't know any better.

It was not until I was a good bit older an more responsible (so... 9 or so) that I could ask my mom if I could go off somewhere else in WalMart and she'd be ok with it. Kids could do with a bit more teaching about respect I think, and that starts with the parents.

Of course, I was in the cub scouts, and then the boy scouts, so I had a sense of respect and responsibility instilled in me.

Kids need to learn some respect some way or another. A good scare keeps them on their toes, so the kilt lifting answer may have been the ticket lol. Im sure they would think twice before ever making a comment like that again lol

You could have just lifted your apron, and answered their question for them.

Would that be considered coldcocking them? :rolleyes:

You know, that's tough one. OF course you can't flash them, you'll get arrested for that. And honestly, they knew perfectly well that you were a man, they were just being obnoxious. There is essentially nothing you can do to change those kids in the twenty seconds you are interacting with them, so let it go. Their opinion is totally irrelevant to your life, anyway.

Now, if you'd seen them with their parents shortly after the incident, then things might have been different. Then again, maybe their parents are brain-dead cretins as well, eh?

About a year ago, my daughter's girl scout unit had an international day. By luck, her troop got Scotland, so I donnned my kilt and Argyll jacket and went along to aid their presentation.

A little girl from another troop came up to me and asked why I was wearing a "man-skirt." Harmless enough, I figured, so I explained that it was not a skirt, but a kilt, and that men in Scotland wear them. Then, she said, "My daddy says it's a man-skirt." I saw the guy across the room, sniggering and it was obvious he had put her up to it.

So, I said, "Honey, you need to go tell your Daddy he's an idiot." She went back and the sniggering stopped.

Excellent!

I have to admit... I'm not always that quick on my feet.

I'll take crap like that from a woman, but not a man. You did right calling him out.
