I've worn kilts full-time for 8 months, and until today I had never got a wisecrack remark. I went grocery shopping with my wife today at Wal-Mart wearing my Amerikilt brown corduroy. When I couldn't hack the walking anymore, I went outside, sat on a bench, and proped my hands up on my cane. Figured I would enjoy the outdoors while my wife finished the shopping.

I saw two young men walking my way from the parking lot. I would estimate they were either in their late teens or early 20's. They were talking to each other and laughing. When, they got up to the crosswalk, they turned to go to the other store entrance all the way down at the other end of the store. As they passed infront of me (about 30 feet in front of me), one of them said "nice skirt," and they both laughed. I simply replied "thank you." Two female Wal-Mart employees on break were sitting on a bench to my right, and one said to the other, "those two had poor upbringing."

So I got my first wisecrack. I was beginning to feel left out.
