Let out the first word to a family member about kilt wearing.

I received an email about my niece's birthday party. So I wrote back, "Is it formal or will a casual kilt be fine?"

A few minutes late, my brother is online (AIM), so I ask him if he got the email. He didn't, so I repeated the question. He said it was casual. So I said "So a casual kilt will be fine?" He said I could wear what I wanted. I think he meant it.

My niece (second grade), said I should wear pants. Since it's her birthday, she gets her request. I guess that means both of us will be in pants.

Not sure if I would have worn a kilt. I expect my father would have the most to say; such as "So you're dressing like a woman now?!", etc. While I can handle him, it would ruin the party for my niece.

So the first smoke signal with the letters "K-I-L-T" has been sent. Maybe next time, the tartan will follow.
