Judging by the happy smiles on both the boy's and his mother's faces, that boy clearly now takes the whole idea of a man wearing a kilt as a perfectly normal thing. That may be due to the fact that in the show nobody makes Archie's form of dress an issue at all. It just isn't talked about. That is just as it should be. But, as Martin's experience shows, it is not like that often enough (yet?) and the brain washing continues.
