    Third Grader Comment

    I walked my son to school today and was dressed in my SWK Hunting Mcleod.
    As I was heading home I passed a young man who I imagined was a (tardy)third grader. He stopped and stared at my attire and said:

    "That's like lederhosen or something right?"

    I explained that it was Scottish and called a kilt, then continued home.

    But as I walked, in the back of brain, I could hear my Scottish and German ancestors screaming.

    Cheers

    Remember the youth is only in third grade and still needs to be learn many things your ancestors will forgive the child this time next time the scots may lay into him with a haggis and the germans with a brat.

    the fact that a 3 grader actually knew what lederhosen was impresses me.
    Inside me is a thin woman screaming to get out. But I can usually shut the b*tch up with chocolate!

    I thought the same.

    I think its pretty obvious that since Panache had on a kilt that the lad doesn't know what lederhosen are.

    Hopefully he goes home wanting to get a kilt though.
