Oft Repeated story

[ABG0819]

I know so before you tell me...You've heard this story a million and a half times, but I'm still new to the kilting thing and it's kinda cool.

A little background before I start. I live in Mt. Olive, NC, the pickle capital of the world. It is a small southern town and kilts are not an everyday sight. I love the town and the people (for the most part). And this incident made me very proud of my little home town.

I took my daughter to a pizza buffet last Sunday night. A little Daddy/Daughter time if you know what I mean. While we were eating a woman and her husband came over to our booth and she asked if she could shake my hand. Of course I obliged. She said that she had been watching me since I came in and she was thrilled to see a man in a kilt. It was a short exchange but left me feeling all warm and fuzzy.

It actually gave me the courage to wear my kilt to my ex's house for the weekly exchange of the daughter. I had been a little apprehensive for her to see me in it because of an earlier exchange involving our daughter's school...the thread is out there somewhere. Anyway she had very little to say but that's about normal.

Anyway just a quick "I love my kilt" story for you to enjoy.

Thanks

Kilt on!

Well done, Graham; and well done, that lass!

I'm forced to agree with you that kilts are not an everyday sight. But please do realize that your part of the state has been more or less overrun with descendants of Highland Scots for the last couple of hundred years!

Just looking at the names of people and places in the eastern part of the state, we'd have to conclude that kilts dhould be an everyday sight. Thanks for doing your part.

As an added bonus, wearing the kilt to dinner that night was my 3 year old daughter's idea. "Daddy, why aren't you wearing your quilt." You and I both know she meant kilt...at least I think that's what she meant. Although she does love her horsey blanket...hummmmmm.

I love the addition to your story about your daughter. She's obviously proud of her dad.

When asked why the kilt you should repond, "Didn't you get the memo"?

Seriously though nice story. It left me all warm and fuzzy too.

Great story...and I remember the post about her school, so good for you to wear it to the Ex's as well.

I wish my dad wore a quilt!
