Another first for me

Sorry no pics (accidentally left the camera in the car), but today, on kind of a spur of the moment (after my 4 year old's dance recital) we decided to take her rollerskating (she had been once before at a birthday party, and had been asking).

So there I am, USA semi trad, nightstalker sporran, kilt hose w/matching flashes, and a pair of roller skates.

Shortly after arrival, the safety guy skates over to me and all I hear is,"You can't wear that in here."

"What?" I start.

"The baseball cap. They're not allowed on the floor."

No other comments at all. At least I didn't kill myself, since as near as I can figure, there are people who can drink that weren't even conceived the last time I was on skates.

What a great turn of phrase (and I sympathize!)

Cheers

I hope you had fun and stayed vertical. I was last on roller skates over a half century ago. The baseball cap thing. Some places I go to around here have started shunning the baseball cap.!?! They haven't said anything about the kilt.

We all know what you did, Tommie! We're still laughing too... You've been a very very bad boy!

That being said, I used to always be in roller skates when I was a kid. I had those blue lace-up boot style of skates, and I kind of miss skating... It's probably fun to go skating in a kilt. I would wear one of my driving caps.

I'll bet your pleats danced beautifully as you sped around the rink.

Take her back. Take a camera. Take pictures.

Great post! I bet your daughter had fun.

It's been about 17 years since I last laced up some roller skates. I used to skate 3 or 4 times a week when I was younger and healed faster. I'd probably have to pre-arrange an ambulance ride if I tried it now.

All I know is that if I ever decide to go roller skating while kilted, I definitely will NOT go regimental. The last time I skated, I think I spent as much time on my behind as I did on my feet. The "mystery" would soon be solved.
