A Tale of Two Dads

[GMan]

It was the best of times and it was even the better of times.

Tonight I was downtown at a book signing party when within a span of 5 minutes, two Dads were giving their children a lesson in the Kilt.

The dynamics were all so neat and extremely varied.

The first Dad and his son walked up to me with his son of about 4 in hand and asked if he could ask me a question. I said yes of course and he said "Why do you wear...what's it called Daddy, (the whisper in his ear was noticeable), a Kilt?" I told him in the easiest way I could that I wore a Kilt primarily because of my heritage and that many people wear Kilts, bagpipers, athletes, and just every day people. So he may see others from time to time in a Kilt. "Thank you very much sir" he said. Good kid.

The second Dad had around him about 4 youngsters from about 4-9 years old. He said "My children, that is one REAL man, because he wears a Kilt"

It was wonderful to hear both of these positives that Dads are imparting to their "younguns"

Stuff like that gives you a great feeling doesn't it, glad it turned out to be a good night. Also good to see the parents with attitudes like that.

Thanks for relating that, Glen. It's good to hear of parents bringing their kids up to be polite and to have open minds.

Moulding young minds is great, having the fathers do it is even better. To be called a "real Man" is just icing on the cake.

Splendid, great to see intelligent dads training their kids on the positivity of kilts.
