Ever been at a loss for words after a kilt comment?

Last month at the Loon Mountain Games a lady pointed at my sporran and asked, "is that to cover your thing?" I had a hard time answering her without chuckling but my wife was unable to contain herself and burst out laughing.

I hope you said, "Thank you!", after you stopped laughing.

Actually, I managed to keep my composure well enough to let her know all about my kilt and accessories. She wound up on my shuttle bus back to our car and we all had a good chat. I really appreciated how curious folks were about highland wear at the games.
