Kids are remarkable and a great source of information: If you want to know the truth, just ask a kid.

We had a discussion about kilts last week. One kid chimes up, "I hate wearing a kilt!"

I said, "Oh, you wear one sometimes?"

"Yes," he added. "I had to wear one to my 6th birthday..."

The kids last name is Gonsalves [so, Dreadbelly, it isn't so uncommon for people with Cuban names to wear them!] I wonder if there is a tradition there? For instance, I know someone who is a quarter Chinese-Cuban. Something to do with the cigar-rolling industry and how a bunch of nationals were trapped in Cuba at the Revolution. You find out things like this living in Miami. Anyway, something to look into!
