Newbie says: "Newbie do!"

Hehehe, one of my first forays was to my 10 year old daughter's dance recital. I think half the reason I got up the nerve to do that was to torture my daughter a bit. "Dad, did you have to wear that HERE where all my friends could see you?" Oh yes darling and to any and all school functions in the future too. I can't wait until she's a teenager, she's going to need counseling for years because of me.

Seriously though, she's pretty much gotten used to it already. She was my hardest sell on the idea of wearing a kilt, I figure if I can get her over it everyone else will be easy.

She'll get over it when her friends think she has a cool dad - or in the worst case: she'll react strongly when she hits puberty and has the most-stupid-dad-in-the-world-and-her-friends-thinks-he-is-OK (been there, done that; but not with kilt)

Best advice: use kilt so often that it is no longer an issue before she reaches puberty

Guess I'm lucky: my 6 year-old son couldn't wait for me to try on my kilt, and even took an active part in deciding what to wear with it in terms of foot-wear and what to wear above the kilt for my first outing (he decided on the Arran sweater...)

True But guess who will be paying for it... (sorry, no pun intended)

It'll be worth it. I keep telling her her mom and I are going to move in with her when we get really old and senile, then she'll know what it's like for us now. Of course she has my smartass genes and says I'll have the same chores she has now.

Shady pines is looking better all the time.

Maybe a home with a more celtic ring? Perhaps "Slipping Sporrans" or "Kilting Daze"? :rolleyes:
