My son wore my kilt to school today

School mascot is a highlander. I have been trying to talk him into wearing a kilt to school for a while. He's a junior (high school) this year. It is homecoming week, and today is "plaid" day. He asked me this morning if we had anything plaid he could wear. I said no, but how about a tartan? He followed me to my room, and I wrapped it around him. He went back to his room asking what to wear underneath! I said what ever he felt was right. ;) He said that jeans were probably not right, so he took them off. I didn't ask what else he changed about his wardrobe.

There he was waiting for the bus in our driveway in a kilt! I was so proud.

Great story.

My elder son and I are such different sizes that my kilt would either fall off him or have to be worn like a cloak.

Good for him! Takes some self-confidence for any of us to go kilted that first time and for him to do it in High School... well done!!

He should be popular among the girls!

The girls will be all over him like a rash! Good for him!

Very cool! We are definitely interested in the outcome.

Good of him! The first kilt I ever saw first-hand was on a classmate at the our prep school prom.

He'll be wanting his own next!

What a proud moment for you. That really gets the blood flowing. My son is 16 m/o and as soon as he is a little bigger we are getting him his own. I can't wait to walk side by side with my boy in our family's tartan. Good on ya cousin.
