    Kilted Graduation

    A friend gave my sons a kilt two days ago. Both can fit into it and its been worn by both around the house. Tonight was graduation, from preschool, for the youngest and he wanted to wear the kilt. The only problem I had was him spilling something or getting it dirty. Also, the wife and I had purchased an "aloha" style shirt for him to wear at graduation. It's an interesting look to say the least.





    He was a hit at the party.

    Moving on; This kilt is backwards. Made that way. The apron, fringe, etc is reversed. The tag reads "cloth by Strathmore, Forfar, Scotland" but no "made by" tag. Are kids kilts made backwards, or is something wrong here?

    I think the laddie looks grand. Ya can't start'em to young, and the fact that he wanted to wear the kilt says volumns about his strong charactor.
    Well done wee one, well done!

    As far as something being wrong......If ya took out the kilt pin and put it on the right hand side no one would have noticed, it looks that good.

    Well, kilt skirts for women/girls are typically made with the fringe edge on the wearer's left side. So, that's probably what it is.

    I have seen kids kilts that are made the other way round, I would not worry about it at his age, he looks sharp, no wonder he was a hit at the party.

    I don't know if there's anything wrong, but even if there is, he doesn't know. He also doesn't seem to care. All he (and I) knows is, he looks like a million dollars. Good on ya, laddie!

    Remembering the power of the kilt, however, did his preschool teacher or any of the more attractive mothers offer to take him out for dinner and dancing?
    Why, a child of five could understand this. Quick -- someone fetch me a child of five!

    Great kids make for great pictures... and a kilt and you have a picture that's worth a thousand words (and a million bucks!)
